This build feels very satisfying to play, your character will move very fast and slice through enemies with precision and efficiency, and you will truly feel like you are playing a futuristic samurai.<\/p>\n
If this style of gameplay sounds exciting, that’s because it is!<\/p>\n
Let’s take a look at what attributes, perks, and equipment are good for this build.<\/p>\n
Best attributes for Melee Katana build<\/h2>\n
Given that Katanas will be your main weapons in this build, Reflexes<\/strong> will be your primary attribute.<\/p>\n Reflexes will increase your Movement Speed and the ability to evade the enemy’s attack, which is really important for this build. You need to be fast to quickly close the gap between you and your target, and take as little damage as possible.<\/p>\n And of course, the most important thing is that Reflexes will unlock you crucial higher level Blades Perks, which are the single most important thing when you use Katanas.<\/p>\n As we’ve mentioned earlier, with this build it will be very important for your character to be able to sustain some damage because he will often be exposed to the enemy’s attacks. Which means that the Body<\/strong> attribute is rather important, which will be your secondary attribute.<\/p>\n The Body attribute will increase your overall Health and Stamina, which means that you will be able to spend more time in combat, and it will also unlock some crucial Athletics Perks and Annihilation Perks, which are really important both for your damage output and survivability.<\/p>\n As you progress, you should spend most of your points on these two attributes. Focus more on Reflexes, but don’t let Body fall too far behind, as it is equally important.<\/p>\n Any extra points you have, you can spend on Cool and unlock Cold Blood Perks which will be a useful addition to this build, with a lot of Crit Chance and Armour upgrades, which are important. But don’t spend too much here, as it will dilute your build.<\/p>\n The biggest focus should naturally be on Blades perks, because Katanas are blades, and you want to maximise their efficiency. You will look for perks that maximize your damage, speed, and survivability.<\/p>\n Ideally, you would like to kill your targets in 2-3 swings and move to the next target.<\/p>\n It’s important to note that all these bonuses stack, so whenever you see a Perk that adds % to something, it will add on top of others bonuses from other Perks.<\/p>\n Speed Demon<\/strong> – The faster you are moving the more damage you deal. And you will be Speedy Gonzales with this build.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Wolverine<\/strong> – Triggers Health regeneration faster in combat, which means that all these bonuses above will kick in faster.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n There’s no specific best amour for this build, but ideally, you will want Armour that increases Crit Chance or Crit Damage, while also having enough Armor to make you stay alive longer.<\/p>\n This build comes with a lot of survivability options, so armour amount is not a priority.<\/p>\n Obviously, this is a Katana build, so you will want to use them.<\/p>\n There’s a lot of Katanas all around Night City, and you can find some of them very early, at the same place where you will find Mantis Blades.<\/a><\/p>\n Generally, you should constantly check weapon vendors in Night City and try to find better Katanas as you progress through the game. There are also some really cool and unique Katanas that you can discover, but we will not spoil that here, find them yourself!<\/p>\n Cyberware<\/strong><\/p>\n As with other equipment, you will want to equip things that give you bonuses to Crit Chance and Crit Damage, because you want to maximise your DPS. The more damage per swing of your blade, the faster you kill them.<\/p>\n
