Description
The Katana is a melee weapon mostly used at close range. Despite its looks, the katana is an all-purpose weapon. It can be used to easily kill damaged foes, or to deflect shots with the right timing. This weapon is extremely useful, but takes time to master. This weapon is a favorite of Johnny Rockit, due to his occupation as a close combat expert.
Uses
The Katana deals well over 50% damage to enemies. Reflected bullets deal the same damage as they normally do, unless boosted by the Double Damage powerup. All kills by reflected projectiles give a player the Reflection kill-bonus.
When flicking the katana at the right moment, one can deflect projectiles, and will flash blue. Try to make the enemy shoot at the exact moment it flashed blue.
The Katana can be reflected by other Katanas or the Static Field. It can also flick off grenades that are stuck on its wielder or "reprogram" a land mine.
Glitches
- A very rare glitch occurs if the Katana reflects a rocket the very frame it is activated. The rocket will duplicate into two when reflected.
- If one uses a Katana as soon as he or she hits a Land Mine, the land mine will swap teams and be on the other side.
Origin
The origin of the Katana idea comes from Star Wars. The Jedi uses lightsabers which can attack, and deflect the blasters when swung at the correct time, like the Katana of Raze 2. Usually because of the sharpened senses that the Force gives them, they are more likely to deflect projectiles and can do it at a much faster rate than the katana of Raze 2.
Reality
The katana is generally defined as the standard size moderately curved Japanese sword with a blade length greater than 60 cm (23.6 inches). Strictly speaking, katana in Japanese is applied to any kind of single-edged sword, of any origin. It does not necessarily refer to a Japanese sword.
