Very nice if you can nerf the berserkitis, but if you have to use an amulet of clarity to do so, you'll probably want to eventually switch to a normal demon blade: it is far preferable to have something like [[conservation]] or [[resist mutation]] in your amulet slot, and a well-enchanted demon blade of freezing will provide more damage output. Being undead or worshiping [[Ashenzari]] will give you a bit more leeway for using this weapon. Similar to but somewhat weaker than the [[Sword of Jihad]].

Truly a shapeshifting weapon, first it was a long sword, then a katana, now a demon blade. Nice if you have clarity, are undead, or are an Ash worshiper; it's at best situationally useful otherwise. Similar to but somewhat weaker than the Sword of Jihad. Note that in [[0.9]] this weapon was the only katana in the game.

Desirability

Very nice if you can nerf the berserkitis, but if you have to use an amulet of clarity to do so, you'll probably want to eventually switch to a normal demon blade: it is far preferable to have something like conservation or resist mutation in your amulet slot, and a well-enchanted demon blade of freezing will provide more damage output. Being undead or worshiping Ashenzari will give you a bit more leeway for using this weapon. Similar to but somewhat weaker than the Sword of Jihad.

History

Truly a shapeshifting weapon, first it was a long sword, then a katana, now a demon blade. In 0.9 this weapon was the only katana in the game.
