FAQ

What is the best katana in Slayers 2?
The Nightfall Katana leads the game with +5.75 Additional Damage, a 1.14x damage factor, +6.2 Block Points and strong block regen. Its schematic is hidden underwater near Mistfall Harbor and the blade is crafted at Hidden Mist Village.
Should I buy the Fancy Katana in Slayers 2?
No. It costs 1,500 Wen versus 500 for the Regular Katana but adds only +1 Additional Damage, and sword mastery builds while you swing any blade, so the cheaper katana gets you progressing sooner.
How do you get elemental katanas in Slayers 2?
Elemental katanas drop from specific bosses at 5% each: Wind from Saneri, Sound from Tengai, Flame from Rengu, Insect from Shinora, Serpent from Obari, Thunder from Zentaro and Water from Giyen. Zuko's Cutlass is the exception at 20%.
Can you upgrade katanas to V2 in Slayers 2?
Yes. Blacksmith Togane in Hidden Mist Village upgrades katanas to V2, but the recipe consumes a katana you already own, so never sell the base blade before finishing the craft.
Where do you craft katanas in Slayers 2?
The Hidden Mist Village forge produces the strongest late-game katanas using Wen and materials, including the Nightfall and Firstlight blades.

Katanas are the main melee weapon in Slayers 2, and none appears when you spawn — you buy, loot or forge every one of them. The good news is that the opening purchase takes minutes, and sword mastery accrues from your first swing regardless of which blade you are holding. This guide covers the full progression from a 500 Wen starter katana to the endgame Nightfall craft.

What should you buy first?

Windy Peak is the starting zone and its sword seller sits inside the area. No quest, level requirement or materials are needed — just bring Wen.

Katana Cost Vendor and location
Regular Katana 500 Wen Raze, Windy Peak
Fancy Katana 1,500 Wen Raze, Windy Peak
Green Katana 500 Wen Jeph’s lair, Kiribating Village
Golden Katana 2,000 Wen + 2 Ore Jeph’s lair, Kiribating Village

If you are short on Wen, the codes page is the fastest top-up — a single active code usually covers the full shopping list.

Which katanas come from boss drops?

Certain katanas are obtained only by defeating particular bosses. Most sit at a 5% drop rate, so plan for roughly twenty clears.

Katana Boss Location Drop rate
Cutlass Zuko Just outside Windy Peak 20%
Wind Katana Saneri Maze north of Windy Peak 5%
Sound Katana Tengai Iceveil Settlement north of Windy Peak 5%
Flame Katana Rengu Desert south of Mistfall Harbor 5%
Insect Katana Shinora Mistfall Harbor 5%
Serpent Katana Obari Northeastern Bamboo Grove 5%
Thunder Katana Zentaro Slightly east of Obari 5%
Water Katana Giyen Southwestern Bamboo Grove Sanctuary 5%

Zuko’s Cutlass breaks the pattern with a 20% chance, which is exactly why it is worth farming early for its unique skills. The Wind, Sound and Flame katanas are generally considered the strongest of the boss drops, making them sensible goals before you reach the forge.

What can you craft at Hidden Mist Village?

The Hidden Mist Village forge builds the strongest late-game katanas using Wen and materials. Progression introduces this system naturally, so there is no need to rush toward it.

  • Enryu, Shinkage and Tengoku — early crafted blades
  • Serpentine, Volcanic, Tornadic, Thundercloud and Tidal — elemental upgrade tier
  • Reverb Cleavers and the Butterfly Katana
  • Firstlight, Firstlight Insect and Firstlight Sound Cleavers
  • Nightfall and Nightfall Serpent — endgame

For endgame crafts, the two stats that matter most are raw damage and block points:

Katana Additional Damage Block Points
Nightfall Katana +5.75 +6.2
Firstlight Katana +4 +6.9
Firstlight Sound Cleavers +4 +6.9
Nightfall Serpent Katana +4 +4.6
Firstlight Insect Katana +4 +3.95
Butterfly Katana +2.5 +2.95

The Nightfall Katana leads on raw damage while still carrying high block points and strong block regen, which is why it sits at the top overall. The Firstlight blades trade a little damage for the highest block points in the group, making them the better defensive picks.

How do you upgrade to V2 katanas?

Blacksmith Togane in Hidden Mist Village makes the V2 katanas. Each recipe improves a katana you already possess, and the craft fails without that base weapon in your inventory.

Upgraded katana Required base blade
Serpentine Katana Serpent Katana
Volcanic Katana Flame Katana
Tornadic Katana Wind Katana
The V2 upgrade route step by step

1. Speak to Blacksmith Togane in Hidden Mist Village and start his quest.

2. Head to Ouwigahara Dungeon in the southwestern corner of the map and reach 90,000 points.

3. Return to Togane and craft the upgraded katana.

Do not sell Mythic Refinement Ores. The upgrades consume them and replacing them means a long grind.

How do you get the Nightfall Katana?

The Nightfall Katana is the best katana in the game, carrying +5.75 Additional Damage, a 1.14x damage factor, +6.2 Block Points and strong block regen. It is an endgame craft, so expect the Wind, Sound or Flame katanas to serve as stopgaps until you get there.

Finding the Nightfall schematic

1. Fast travel to the Mistfall Harbor Shrine.

2. Head toward the docks and keep going until you can see the waterfalls — the underwater passage is nearby.

3. Go below the surface, take the passage, and climb out on its far side.

4. Interact with the concealed katana to obtain the schematic, then bring it to the Hidden Mist Village forge and craft the blade.

The Nightfall Serpent Katana is a second endgame option, but its schematic is tied to finding a key rather than a single fixed pickup, so the search is less reliable. The Nightfall Gauntlet, Sickle, Axe and other pieces sit in separate hidden locations.

Frequently asked questions

Does katana choice affect weapon mastery?

Mastery accrues only while you fight with the equipped katana, and its skills appear under the Weapon skills tab of the Skill Tree (opened with M). Sword mastery is shared across katanas, so switching blades does not reset your progress.

What is the Ocean Wave Katana?

It exists with +1 Additional Damage, but no official acquisition method is currently confirmed. Treat it as unobtainable until the developers clarify.

Which katana should a new player aim for?

Buy the Regular Katana, farm Zuko for the Cutlass at 20%, then work up the leveling route toward level 25. Elemental katanas come later, once you can clear 3,000 HP bosses without slowing down.
