Give him short sword

I experimented on a katana-wielding thrall back in 2.8 and it seemed to work pretty well. Not optimal, but with thralls being the superheroes they were, it was okay. They performed combos with decent success and regularity.

I haven’t got my hands on any katanas in 3.0 yet, but I intend to test that too. My current hypothesis is that with a greater emphasis on Strength buffs, katana will be a less effective weapon for thralls. Whether it’s a slightly suboptimal option, or a cripple-myself-completely option, remains to be seen.

This one has given out a couple katanas since the patch…

The results have been amusing.

There seems no rhyme or reason to when the thralls decides to go into Iaijutsu mode.
They will be doing well, making a few combos, and then, just crouch and get angry for a moment…
Then zoom!
Off in the direction of nothing in particular.

With the more fragile state of thralls now, perhaps it is good to just randomly ninja run out of combat?

The reason it seems wonky is because they have no clue they are using a Katana. They believe its a Two-Handed Sword.

Imagine if you were told you were given a Two-Handed Sword, and told to attack. But you didn’t realize you were given a Katana. Now you’re heavy and light attacking as if it was a 2h Sword. That’s what the thralls are doing. They need their own entries for the combo sets.
