	+ Has an obtainable Blueprint on Floors 31-35.
	+ Random reward from Uncle Prime Box

## Notes

* At Tiers 1, 2, 4, and uncapped this weapon has a degradation rate of 61%. This means that it will lose up to 61% of its attack value from durability loss, which is the worst degradation rate of any weapon in the game. Strangely, the Tier 3 version of this weapon has a much more reasonable 35% degradation rate.

These ****Katanas**** were a reward from the **TDM Battle Rush Season 1** Finale, the **Season 10** Finale, and the **Season 19** Finale. Season 1 took place over 9/28/2017 - 1/14/2018, Season 10 took place over 1/6/2020 - 3/29/2020, and Season 19 took place over 3/28/2022 - 6/27/2022. The blueprints were rewarded to players based on their TDM Rank during the final week of the Season. Unlike normal weapons, **they cannot advance to the next tier after reaching +4**. This means that you are stuck with whichever version you received. The Diamond Rank reward weapon is the strongest and can be uncapped.

Currently, new blueprints cannot be obtained.

**NOTE:** Helmet bonus does not count towards meeting the requirement for being able to use gear.

The **Takama-ga-hara** is a powerful ****Katana**** and one of the very rare TENGOKU Weapons, as the blueprint may only be found there. The blueprint can be rarely obtained from gold chests found after bosses in Tengoku.

It may be available in the Bloodnium Exchange (as a weapon, not a blueprint) for  3000.

**NOTE:** Helmet bonus does not count towards meeting the requirement for being able to use gear.

## Blueprint Locations

* **Takama-ga-hara**
	+ Can be found in TENGOKU as a drop from Treasure Tuber chests or a chest after a Boss.

## Notes

* This weapon has a degradation rate of 30%. This means that it will lose up to 30% of its attack value from durability loss.
* The electric visual effect on the weapon will cause an extra 23 durability to be used if it is visible at the moment of impact, causing Takama-ga-hara to lose durability slightly faster than other Katanas. Despite this fact it is still by far the best Katana due to its degradation rate being drastically superior as well as having Electric damage. Almost all "meta" armor sets have a weakness to Electric damage.
