Katana

The Katana is an early-game sword that can be purchased at the end of Sandy Canyon in its shop. While its held, the player gains 4 extra.

The Ninja starts with this sword, instead of the Copper Sword. It cannot be upgraded unlike its buyable version.

Appearance
The Katana, quite expectedly, looks like a standard katana, with a diamond pattern on its black handle, a rounded black hand guard, and a long silver blade.

Tips

 * The Katana's bonus proves to be useful throughout most of the game, as it can help with tighter rooms, long jumps, and overall speed differences.
 * If you're using Ninja, use this or the Gilded Katana when using Meditate to gain an extra 4 or more.

Trivia

 * There is an upgraded variation of this item, Gilded Katana, that deals 100 instead of 16.
