===Ability usage===
* {{Abilitylink|KatanaPassive}}
**
** Keep track of the marks applied to an enemy.
* {{Abilitylink|KatanaPrimary}}
** Use any elevation (including jumping) before you use Calamity Slice to make yourself much more difficult to hit.
** Its range is longer than it looks, keep this in mind to catch enemies off-guard.
* {{Abilitylink|KatanaSecondary}}
** Use Spirit Cleanse
** Spirit Cleanse can be used after Calamity Slice's 5-hit combo to maintain airtime and stall out attacks or save yourself from pitfalls.
* {{Abilitylink|KatanaQ}}
** Thread Tow can be used to finish off enemies at a distance or to pull in an enemy that leaves your range.
*** It also drags backline Phighters out of position.
** Consider using it on stationary Phighters, like [[Hyperlaser]].
*** Due to its {{Status|Stun}} effect, {{Abilitylink|KatanaQ}} can also interrupt attacks with a long wind-up, such as [[Hyperlaser|Hyperlaser's]] {{Abilitylink|HyperlaserPhinisher}} or attacks with a long animation, such as [[Ban Hammer|Ban Hammer's]] {{Abilitylink|BanHammerE}}.
** Be careful of when you use it, save it for when you can secure a kill. Without it, most Phighters will stay too far out of range.
*** A good example is [[Slingshot]], who dashes away too quickly before you can slow him enough. However, using it after his dash is a good way to secure a kill.
** If you're off the point or in an area where you have no teammates or enemies lingering about, you can use {{Abilitylink|KatanaQ}} to grapple a [[Boombox]] using {{Abilitylink|BoomboxPhinisher}} to deny the opposing team the AoE damage and support.
** Thread Tow can also be used to move enemies into their own Phinishers and take self-damage ([[Rocket|Rocket's]] {{Abilitylink|RocketPhinisher}} and [[Sword|Sword's]] {{Abilitylink|SwordPhinisher}} are two Phinishers that damage the user) or into allied Phinishers with an AoE effect such as [[Subspace|Subspace's]] {{Abilitylink|SubspacePhinisher}}. Thread Tow can also be used to move enemies into [[Map Elements#Killbricks|killbricks]].
*** After moving an enemy into their own Phinisher, you can use {{Abilitylink|KatanaE}} to soak up the damage from the attack and throw it back at them or at a group of enemies.
**
* {{Abilitylink|KatanaE}}
** Use when taking a lot of damage, as you can counter back with a slash and apply multiple Looming Misfortune stacks.
** Can be used aggressively, walk forward and absorb as much damage as possible before slicing into someone.
* {{Abilitylink|KatanaPhinisher}}
** Be careful not to use it too far in the open, you become a target.
** Soul Splicer can hit enemies through walls. Use cover to surprise your enemies or to use your Phinisher without taking too much damage during the animation.
===Counterplay against {{PAGENAME}}===
Since Katana has very poor mobility and range, ranged characters usually do well against him, if he does not land either his
Katana has a larger hitbox than most other phighters, thus making headshots with [[Hyperlaser|Hyperlaser's]] [[Hyperlaser#Hyper Ray|primary]] easier to hit.
