Katana/Tips

==Tips==
Please note that most things listed in this section are not objective, and are not the "Correct" way to use them. This section is used to give advice to players who want to learn how to use their tools more efficiently.
*It is recommended that you only use your final dash as an escape method if you are in combat, as the long cooldown and slowed movement speed make you a very easy-to-attack target to Gootraxians.
** Some examples of this are dashing into the spawn, through a closing door, or the opposite direction of your opponent in a fight.
*The Katana is very useful when it comes to combos, due to the katana's low cooldown from the first two swings. It is very easy to hit someone with the first two swings, then hit them with a much more powerful weapon such as an Axe or Long Pipe.
**You can also use the dash feature offensively to surprise your opponent.
***When paired with a Golden Sledgehammer, the Golden Katana and Sledgehammer combo deal a whopping 115 damage, although this combo is very hard to hit. This combo is the highest amount of damage you can deal in a public server.
*It is relatively easy for Gootraxians to grab you out of your dash, so it is recommended that you aim your dash slightly to the sides of your opponent and attempt to get them to miss their attempted grab.
*Try to use two slashes and follow up with a generally stunning hit. It is not recommended to use all 3 slashes in combat due to the cooldown slowing you down and leaving you vulnerable.
*By pairing a Golden Katana and a normal Katana and alternate between their swings, you can dash up to 4 times before the final dash and wait the longer cooldown.
*If attacking with another player(s), you can use desync to stand in front of the other player's character on your screen to make them push you forwards at running pace while the cooldown is in effect. When done, this can drastically increase weapon effectiveness as it completely removes the walkspeed penalty after the third swing.
