Segment details
0:59–1:00 · rev_416f003726a409385971aec0b36b8a04_23beginning of the game. So first of all,
Segment details
1:00–1:01 · rev_416f003726a409385971aec0b36b8a04_24we've got 8 weapons. We've got the Bloody
Segment details
1:02–1:04 · rev_416f003726a409385971aec0b36b8a04_25Katana of the Brute, we've got the Ronin's

Segment details
1:20–1:22 · rev_416f003726a409385971aec0b36b8a04_32Katana. So basically, if it says Brute,
Segment details
1:23–1:25 · rev_416f003726a409385971aec0b36b8a04_33it means it's going to do a lot of weapon
Segment details
1:25–1:27 · rev_416f003726a409385971aec0b36b8a04_34DPS. If it says Truth, it's going to do a
Segment details
1:27–1:30 · rev_416f003726a409385971aec0b36b8a04_35lot of— it's
Segment details
1:30–1:33 · rev_416f003726a409385971aec0b36b8a04_36going to do a lot of daze buildup or
Segment details
1:34–1:36 · rev_416f003726a409385971aec0b36b8a04_37adrenaline gain. If it says Malice, we're
Segment details
1:37–1:38 · rev_416f003726a409385971aec0b36b8a04_38going to do posture DPS. And Matsu's
Segment details
1:38–1:42 · rev_416f003726a409385971aec0b36b8a04_39Katana does adrenaline gain, but if you
Segment details
1:42–1:45 · rev_416f003726a409385971aec0b36b8a04_40want maximum damage, you want the Katana
Segment details
1:45–1:47 · rev_416f003726a409385971aec0b36b8a04_41of Wounding. And that does more weapon DPS
Segment details
1:47–1:51 · rev_416f003726a409385971aec0b36b8a04_42than the Brute one, but it does have less
Segment details
1:51–1:53 · rev_416f003726a409385971aec0b36b8a04_43ability damage. So it depends on your
Segment details
1:53–1:55 · rev_416f003726a409385971aec0b36b8a04_44playstyle, you go for ability damage or
Segment details
1:56–1:58 · rev_416f003726a409385971aec0b36b8a04_45katana damage. Okay, so you also got
Segment details
1:58–2:01 · rev_416f003726a409385971aec0b36b8a04_46Serene Katana of Security, does way more
Segment details
2:01–2:03 · rev_416f003726a409385971aec0b36b8a04_47ability damage versus the 278 ability
Segment details
2:04–2:06 · rev_416f003726a409385971aec0b36b8a04_48damage versus 188 ability damage.
Segment details
2:06–2:09 · rev_416f003726a409385971aec0b36b8a04_49So I mean, if you want katana ability
Segment details
2:10–2:13 · rev_416f003726a409385971aec0b36b8a04_50damage, then you're gonna go for The

Segment details
2:19–2:21 · rev_416f003726a409385971aec0b36b8a04_53but you don't really have that many
Segment details
2:22–2:23 · rev_416f003726a409385971aec0b36b8a04_54abilities in the beginning of the game,
Segment details
2:23–2:24 · rev_416f003726a409385971aec0b36b8a04_55so I would recommend going for weapon DPS.
