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.
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 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.
- Ninja (Character): The Ninja is also unlocked from the Desert stages and has an evasion-based perk. Thematically and functionally, the Ninja's high-speed, evasive playstyle pairs perfectly with the Katana's precision strikes.
Upgrades
The Katana can receive upgrades in the following stats upon leveling up:
- Damage
- Crit Chance
- Crit Damage
- Projectile Count (Increases the number of slashes)
- Size (Increases the range of the slash)
