Katanas (Dark Souls III)

Uchikatana

This is the first Katana in the game, as it is available before you even enter the Firelink Shrine. To obtain this weapon you must defeat its wielder, the Sword Master. Even though it is still early in the game, do not take him lightly, for he has a fair amount of health. Many players try to kick him of the edge of the cliff nearby as a means of an easy victory. This katana's attacks are fairly quick, and can manage to stun most enemies you come across. It's light attack (L) is a vertical swing followed by a reversed, uppercut swing. Allowing the wielder to chain attacks and stun locking its foes. It's heavy attack (H) is a horizontal slash that is capable to hit many targets at once, but be warned that you are more likely to be hit if you are trying this. THis weapons Arte, is a stance (S). The wielder sheaths the sword while keeping his on the hilt, prepared for a quickdraw. While in the stance the light and heavy attacks are altered, and will consume FP when used. The Stanced light attack (SL) is a powerful draw from the sheath and a small charge toward the enemies, allowing the wielder to close a small distance and attack when in range, and can quickly be followed by a light attack. The Stanced Heavy Attack (HL) is a powerful slash at the enemies feet. while this attack is easy to dodge it still has the ability to catch people off guard.
