Katana
Long sword with extended reach but slower draw.
The Katana occupies the long-sword slot of the melee class. Its extended hitbox is theoretically advantageous, but the slower perceived draw animations make it tactically inferior to the Wakizashi for the majority of engagements. Players who main the Katana typically do so for cosmetic reasons rather than performance.
