===Ability usage===
* {{Abilitylink|KatanaPassive}}
** GapGet 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.
** It is farther than you think it is. You don't need to be on top of an opponent for it to hit.
* {{Abilitylink|KatanaSecondary}}
** Use Spirit Cleanse to procafter Looming Misfortune's slow early on faster Phighters to stay in their range. You don't have to get 5 stacks.
** Spirit Cleanse can be used after Calamity Slice's 5-hit combo to maintain airtime.
* {{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]].
** 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.
* {{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.
** Soul Splicer ignores the enemy's shield. This can make it useful as a counterplay to [[Boombox]]'s {{Abilitylink|BoomboxPhinisher}} if [[Boombox]] is low on health.
 
===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 Thread Throw{{Abilitylink|KatanaQ}} or apply any stacks of Looming Misfortune{{Abilitylink|KatanaPassive}}. When Katana starts using Foul Counter{{Abilitylink|KatanaE}}, it is advised to get away from him and do not damage him, although he sitswon't stilldo damage, you can be struck by the slash and be slowed, allowing him to kill you quickly. His Phinisher{{Abilitylink|KatanaPhinisher}} has huge AoE effect, but very small vertical ranged. The most dangerous part of this is the slow and stacks of misfortune, in which he will quickly use his abilities on you to kill you. Any ability that gives you a vertical advantage should be used, to not have your health gonecut and be slowed.
