A Nodachi is a Katana Class weapon. Heavier, with increased range and damage compared to most katanas at the expense of indoor penalties. It is very widely used, including by many of the more elite samurai of the United Cities. It has the second lowest -Armour Penetration of the Katanas (Ninja blade has -20% as well but it is Ninja blade so...) making it decent (Katana wise) for taking on armoured foes. Due to the reduced Defense and indoor penalty a Rusted Junk version can be used to level Defense up extremely fast inside of a building.

The Meitou version of this weapon can be found on the leader of Skin Bandits, Savant.

This weapon has inventory dimensions of 1x10, meaning it can not be stored in the inventory and must be equipped as a primary or stored in a backpack.
