Autumn katana: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 19:30, 14 September 2022

Version 0.29: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.

An exquisitely crafted sword. Its blade is so sharp that it can cut through space itself.

the +8 autumn katana

+8 katana (modified long sword: 14 base damage, 3 base accuracy, 12 base delay)

Vorpal brand
May cast Manifold Assault on hit (20% chance).

Desirability

The autumn katana^[1] is a very nice weapon if you can find it. With better stats than a demon blade, it has excellent speed, good damage output, and the chance to target multiple, distant foes at once. Note that the Manifold Assault won't activate on a single target, though the katana outperforms ordinary one-handed Long Blades anyway.

History

Prior to 0.28, the autumn katana had clarity instead of the ability to cast Manifold Assault. It also gained 1 base damage but lost riposte.
The autumn katana was added in 0.10.
