Large katana with a long, heavy blade.
A weapon unique to warriors of the Land of Reeds.

Designed for aggression, this armament requires the wielder to throw their entire body into swinging it. The slashing attacks of its honed edge incite blood loss.

Skill: Overhead Stance

A skill that starts with the blade held high in a ready stance. Execute a normal attack from this stance to step forward and slash downwards, or a strong attack to deliver a series of downward slashes.

Obtaining

The Great Katana is obtained from a corpse next to a slumbering Ghostflame Dragon near the Abandoned Ailing Village in the Gravesite Plains.
