The Black Blade is a rather unusual katana. As
noted in its description it is quite short, roughly equal in length to
Bloodlust and Darkdrift, and it is also quite heavy, being the fourth-heaviest
behind the Washing Pole, Onikiri and Ubadachi and Frayed Blade. However, it has
excellent base damage, and a different set of strong attacks than what is
normal on most katanas
If infused with a Sharp Gem
and used with very high amounts of Dexterity, the Black Blade deals among the
most physical damage of all katanas in the game.
A short katana wielded by the
swordsman and distinguished guest of High Lord Wolnir. This shiny black blade
is thick, but shorter than the typical katana.
The swordsman was a master of
a rare technique, traces of which can be observed in this weapon's strong
attack.
Skill: Hold
Assume a holding stance to
rapidly execute a lunging slash with normal attack, or a deflecting parry with
strong attack.
