=== Charging Slash ===
"Charge at your opponent with a quick attack." - In-game description
Charging Slash is the default Special of the Katana Type A subclass. After pressing the Special button, the user dashes towards the target and deals damage on hit. While dashing, the user is covered with Super Armor, making it a great tool to get into a fight. As Super Armor is only protecting from hit stun and not from any damage or Gum Damage, the player has to make sure to have enough energy and to avoid 1-shot binding Gum Shoots. After getting hit by Charging Slash, there is a hit stun which can be used for follow-up attacks. 
Other than an oppressing tool, Charging Slash can also be used as a movement tool. When activating, the user accelerates a brief moment in the direction the camera is facing to, locked to the current plane. So if the player is on the ground and points the camera upwards, they only dash forward. To overcome this problem, a trick can be used. For this, the player has to dash or dodge in the desired direction first and activate Charging Slash during the dash. This cancels the dash and the player will charge upwards into the air or any other desired direction. To cancel the speed stop at the end, Gum Guard can be used in order to keep momentum going and reach even farther.
In terms of matchup, Charging Slash has great chances against a lot of attacks, whereby opponents are forced to defend or evade. If the moveset of the opponent's weapon also provides certain attack properties, such as Super Armor or invincibility, things can get interesting. In general, Charging Slash whiffs against attacks with invincibility and ties with Super Armor, meaning both dealing damage. But there are some attacks resulting into a Parry. These are Charging Slash, Ring Chop (the Alter Special of Type C Katanas), Overpowering Wave (the default Special of Board Type B weapons), and Bolt Slash (the default Special of Extra Type A weapons).

===Razor Edge===
"Attack by emitting a shockwave from your katana." - In-game description
Razor Edge is the Alter Special of the Katana Type A subclass. It is a fast, mid-range, piercing projectile with a decent priority to counter most Gum Shoots. Its speed and the combination with the Ability Chakra makes it great to finish off opponents from a distance. Chakra helps to recover the Special immidiately and to continue with further fights. As Razor Edge is a projectile, it ignores S-Burst, allowing to extend combos carefree. 
Its true strength lies in pressuring opponents at mid-range. Hitting a Gum Guard, results into a long block stun. This can be followed up by a Break Attack, resulting to a Gum Bind which eventually leads to an IPPON. Escaping at mid-range can be tricky for the opponent, as Razor Edge and the weapon in general are fast. Projectiles with a higher priority or attacks with certain properties, such as Super Armor or invicibility are a threat and help opponents to escape or to counter.
Razor Edge's priority allows it to cancel most Gum Shoots, up to the priority of Gum Laser. Laser and a deployed Gum Net trade hit with Razor Edge. As a large Gum Laser can Gum Bind on hit however and the time of being bound is longer than the hit stun of Razor Edge, the Razor Edge user is in a disadvantage. Gum Searcher cancels Razor Edge and Ghost goes through it. Normal and Wide Attack of Sonic Trick (Alter Special of Board Type A) have the same priority. A clash of these result into dissolving. Other projectile Specials mostly have a higher priority.
