Notes
This weapon has the second highest base damage in game, being beaten by the Blade of Ages by 210 damage.

This is a very odd weapon, as it has 0 initial range. When fired, the projectiles will linger in place for a little bit before accelerating forward, with its actual range being only 0.12 tiles shorter than a Ray Katana. This makes it very unwieldly as a primary katana, but it shines in situations where enemies have very predictable movement, such as when they chase after you, follow fixed paths, or stand still altogether. Because of its insane base damage, it can output a staggering amount of DPS despite its sluggish fire rate, with its sheer base damage often being able to render enemy DEF irrelevant.

It also has applications against enemies with invunerability phases. Due to the lingering shots, one could switch to this Katana during an enemy’s invunerability, fire several shots, then swap to a different katana as the invunerability ends. The resulting damage can annihilate enemies much faster than if one were to only use other Katanas.
