Katana

The Katana is the top tier Melee weapon in SFD.

Combat
The Katana is, overall, the best Melee weapon in the game. It has great range, damage, throw damage and it's made of metal, so it can reflect bullets. It has a bit less range than the Chain, but a lot more damage.

In the right hands, the Katana can destroy a single foe at full health in a few seconds. The spawn for the weapon is rare, however, so it's unlikely you will receive it early in the match.

It is best used to rush an enemy. Use blocks to deflect bullets, then strike an armed enemy, forcing them to sheathe their gun. The katana can still be blocked with bare hands, so try to predict blocks and time your swings.

Trivia

 * Like the Machete, the Katana spawns in a sheath, when disarmed or dropped, it will be shown unsheathed.
 * In the first teaser picture of Superfighters Deluxe the Katana is featured in addition to the M60 and the Magnum.
