    So I've recently tried playing Katana after seeing it in action a few times throughout the game, and I must say that I've been enjoying the class so far, but i feel that I have something lacking on it, so i wanted to ask to other professional Katana users in it he server what do i need to do to achieve the true potential of the class.

    Below, my stats and equipment...

    Right now, that's what I've been using for a while now. I'm mainly using the Zantei Settetsu for this class.
    Anyways, strong Katana users, tell me your secrets.

    I should get rid of that stupid ponytail on my character.

    Use Top Hat NPC or drop version if you want to save money.
    Get atk/cdmg boosting equips.
    Get Hasso as well :p Sometimes Zantei is difficult to time.
    Try an unsheathe bangle/Dex tali III/Dark Knight Amulet

    I haven't tried the combos yet, since I don't know what's a good combo for the Katana. I have 8 Mana bars by now.
    I can time my Zantei Settetsu very well, so i don't have many problems with it. But I'll take the Hasso Happa.

    Also, equipment that increase critical damage and stuff are pretty expensive on the consignment boards, and I'm veeeeery far from getting the required amount of Spina just for one single piece.

    I can craft some tho, just not sure if I should get more critical rate of critical damage.

    And also, Hasso is about to be nerfed, so I dont see it worthy of leveling up currently.

    If you don't have a lot of money, i would suggest you invest 10sp in Meikyo buff (this will guarantee your next skill is 100% crit) for good immediate boost in your main damage skill (zantei).

    Another problem you may have is lack of mp, so max Shikichi too to recover the mp a lot quicker using auto attacks.
    (EDIT: I didn't realize that RyeUshio already advised the above, I didn't need to repeat :))

    You hp is also a bit low, so i would advise some +hp armour as the next investment. Soon you can start farming scrader boss (lvl 85), which drops +1400hp Brigandine. That would be a good first step.

    Good luck!

    hello, I'm also a katana user, I want to ask, looking at Ramlethal's stats it seems he didn't increase his AGI even once, is it not necessary for a katana user? i divided my stat points between AGI and DEX evenly..was that a mistake?

    IMO agi isn't necessary for katana specially when you use zantei a lot, evade or miss doesnt count as parry to activate zanteis 5th slash.
    And you can compensate ASPD by using GIGA pots and or quick aura

    I see, this is my first time playing this game and I'm a lvl 41 so I'm a noob at this, I haven't encountered those GIGA pots you mentioned yet and haven't unlocked quick aura yet, part of my reasons for increasing my AGI is because I noticed that I need lots of mana and mana regeneration(especially during battles) and I figured that the best way to regain my mana during battles is to increase my attacks per second or AGI...what's the best way to manage one's mana and regain it quickly during battles?

    Getting Quick draw from shot skills gives you a chance to regain 100mp if you use a skill, Shukuchi gives 65?(not sure abot this) AMPR when you dash and do normal attacks, i think @Komibii has a guide on how to manage mana for katana class

    Maybe the best ways are the old ways.
    The best ways are the old ways, Farm Mino Skins!
    Or even get a group and go for Monkfish Liver.

    Hey guys I've been having a lot of fun with the katana for the past few weeks and I've recently reached lvl 104, I've also been having a lot of fun with the Zantei skill and have mainly been using it against minotaur(ultimate) to farm mino skins and have mastered it's timing, but I have a question, if I'm relying on Zantei alot to kill bosses, which stat gives out more damage? DEX or STR? I'm really confused from watching some youtube videos and reading some posts about some people saying full STR is better since it raises critical damage, and others saying full DEX is better since accuracy is also important, also I've chosen CRT as my personal stat, I don't know which of these 3 stats I should prioritize the most, any thoughts?
