Katana

The traditional symbol of Samurai status, the katana is a weapon that is above average in terms of speed and power. Its decent length gives it good reach and makes it well suited to slashing, sweeping and stabbing attacks.

Long Sword

A duel edged European weapon, the long sword's lighter weight makes it easier to handle than the katana, though this comes at the cost of some power. Still, its ability to execute various consecutive attacks makes it a valuable additon to any arsenal.

Nodachi

A weapon that has withstood the test of time with the Narukagami, the heavy blade of the nodachi is slow on the draw. Yet once in motion, few blades are as deadly or wide reaching as this fearsome weapon.

Broad Sword

A massive weapon literally capable of overpowering opponents, the broadsword requires an equally powerful wielder in order to be utilized effectively. While considered a slow weapon, its reach and power more than make up for this shortcoming.

Naginata (exclusive for Narukagami)

The great length of this weapon is both a strength and a weakness. The blade of this weapon permits it to be used as a stabbing and slashing weapon while the added length allows devastating sweep attacks in all directions. On the other hand, this same length makes it slow and unsuitable for close combat.

Yari (exclusive for Shainto)

Similar to and sharing many of the same strengths and weaknesses of the naginata, the yari is nothing more than a Japanese spear. While simple in concept, only a fool would under estimate this deadly weapon's great length and stabbing attacks.

Total length: 72 4/5 in.
Blade length: 12 in.
Weight: 3 7/10 lbs.
