The Katana is an unlockable weapon in Megabonk, known for its high single-target damage potential and critical hit synergy. It automatically targets the nearest enemy, making it a reliable weapon for focusing down dangerous foes.
How to Unlock
Unlocking the Katana is based on luck. It has a 5% chance to be found after breaking a Tumbleweed on any Desert Stage 1 map. Players should chase down and break every Tumbleweed they see to maximize their chances.
When initially found, the Katana is added to the player's active weapons. This can increase the number of weapons past the current maximum, even if the normal maximum of 4 weapons is held (the Katana becoming the 5th.)
After finding it for the first time, it must be purchased from the Unlocks tab for 2 Silver to be permanently added to the weapon pool.
Strategy and Synergies
The Katana is a pure damage-dealer that shines in builds focused on critical hits. It's perfect for eliminating high-priority targets before they become a threat.
- Critical Hit Focus: The Katana is one of the few weapons that can be upgraded with both Crit Chance and Crit Damage. Prioritizing these upgrades as well as its base Damage will result in massive damage spikes.
- Key Synergies:
- Precision Tome: The best tome to pair with the Katana, as it directly boosts the weapon's primary strength: critical hits.
Best Characters:
- Noelle gains 1% Size per level which allows you to completely ignore size upgrades in favor of Damage upgrades on this weapon while still ending up with more than enough.
- Bush gains 1% Crit Damage per level which massively increases the damage value of Crit Chance upgrades.
- Spaceman starts with the Black Hole weapon which can group enemies together for the Katana to hit many more per slash than normal.
Upgrades
The Katana can receive the following upgrades upon leveling up:
| Stat | Common | Uncommon | Rare | Epic | Legendary |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Damage | 2.2 | 2.6 | 3.1 | 3.5 | 4.4 |
| Crit Chance | 8% | 10% | 11% | 13% | 16% |
| Crit Damage | 20% | 24% | 28% | 32% | 40% |
| Projectile Count | 1 | 1.2 | 1.4 | 1.6 | 2 |
| Size | 20% | 24% | 28% | 32% | 40% |
