I'm on Interlude province VI in the game and I'm using a Katana class weapon for the third time. I love the weapon, and my favorite move is the spinning slash. However, the spinning slash is a very risky move not only because of its range, but also because of its lengthy backswing. Shadow swings the sword in a very short duration of time, but he takes about twice that duration just to return to neutral state. If the opponent blocks the hit, even a regular swing from a Northern Hammer has time to hit Shadow before Shadow can block again. I'm not sure why the developers chose to make this move so lopsided, and they clearly didn't think about balancing certain weapons and moves. For example, the most useful katana move is probably the strong slash. The strong slash has good range and is very fast. I sometimes hit the opponent with the strong slash four times in a row because of how short the backswing is.

Despite the katana's strange spinning slash duration, it's still my favorite katana move because of the risk it carries. Fellow shadows, what weapons do you enjoy using despite their weaknesses?
