How to Use the Karakuri Katana

Land Versatile Strikes and Combos

The Karakuri Katana primarily deals damage at close range, capable of dealing with most combat situations with its versatile light and heavy attacks. The weapon also has access to powerful extended combos at the cost of a large amount of stamina by using the Special Attack button.

Enter Unleashed State to Enhance Attacks

After accumulating enough power for the Karakuri Katana's Weapon Gauge, you can enter an Unleashed State that boosts the damage output of each of your attacks. While in this state, launch yourself off three vertically-stacked crates to land one of the most powerful attacks in the game!

What's the point of having the weapon tree if it's alphabetically sorted and not sorted based on how early you get them?
