Desirability

The autumn katana[1] is a nice weapon for Long Blades users, with better base stats than a demon blade. However, note that the extra attacks from Manifold Assault only proc when there's more than 1 target on the screen. Therefore, a +9 branded demon blade will be stronger against single targets. That being said, the autumn katana shines against multiple opponents, as it can hit up to 4 extra targets at once.

The spell Manifold Assault still works with this weapon ("Space folds impossibly around your blade!"), allowing you to sometimes get one layer of recursion.

History

  • Prior to 0.28, the autumn katana had the vorpal brand and clarity instead of the ability to cast Manifold Assault. It also had -1 base damage, but had riposte. Note that the game falsely states it has the vorpal brand in 0.28 and 0.29.
  • The autumn katana was added in 0.10.
