==Strategy==
{{Phighterproscons
|* High damage output.
*
* Can consistently slow down enemies by applying {{Abilitylink|KatanaPassive}}.
|* Poor mobility.
* Large hitbox.
* Few ranged options outside of {{Abilitylink|KatanaQ}}.
}}
Line 155 ⟶ 129:
* {{Abilitylink|KatanaPassive}}
** Get closer, slow helps with finishing or dealing huge damage to an enemy.
** 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.
**
* {{Abilitylink|KatanaSecondary}}
** Use Spirit Cleanse after Looming Misfortune's
** 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.
Line 174 ⟶ 153:
** 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 {{Abilitylink|KatanaQ}} or apply any stacks of {{Abilitylink|KatanaPassive}}. When Katana starts using {{Abilitylink|KatanaE}}, it is advised to get away from him and do not damage him, although he won't do damage, you can be struck by the slash and be slowed, allowing him to kill you quickly. {{Abilitylink|KatanaPhinisher}} has huge AoE effect, but very small vertical
Katana has a larger hitbox than most other phighters, thus making headshots with [[Hyperlaser|Hyperlaser's]] [[Hyperlaser#Hyper Ray|primary]] easier to hit.
