Notes
A rare Katana, this weapon sacrifices some damage in exchange for slightly higher fire rate and a lot of extra range. This allows users to strike enemies from a safer distance. In addition, its faster projectile speed allows it to hit moving targets more easily. This katana is mostly useful when the enemies are very dangerous to get close to (for example, Oryx 2) and the extra damage on the Tiered ones would not be worth the risk.

In terms of DPS, it outdamages the T12 Masamune until 35 DEF, on a Ninja with no buffs or equipment. It is outdamaged by the Doku no Ken and T13 Sadamune at all DEF levels.

An interesting thing to note is that this is the only weapon in the game that does a flat 150 damage, making its DPS consistent.
