Guardless Katanas have a large bonus to the Melee Attack skill, while also having a hefty penalty to the Melee Defence skill. These two combined will cause a character to attack far more often in comparison to normal. Though they may end up being defeated more easily should they get outnumbered

The Meitou version of this weapon can be found on General Jang in Ashland Dome III.

This weapon has inventory dimensions of 1x7. It can be equipped in both the primary and secondary weapon slots.
