Which of the two Great Katana is better until I can get my hands on the Tsurumaru?

Senkuto if you lack accuracy...

But Senkuto should win over Azukinagamitsu anyways.

Wouldn't Ichimonji-Yofusa also beat out Azu?

Yeah, it would, though I would imagine Senkuto beats them both.

Particularly if he spends his time doing reives at all, and honestly, I would aim for Anahera Blade over Tsurumaru, but Tsuru is still good.

I question this mostly because of the lower GK Skill(lower accuracy and attack, even with its higher raw accuracy stat it falls behind), Lower attack, lower damage, and the Lower Delay making you sacrifice slots for more STP(Ionis buffs will obviously favor it.) All miniscule, I know, but I still question it.

If you do Reives often, Senkuto is gonna win but I question how far it pulls ahead of Ichimonji otherwise.

Either way, both are incredibly easy to obtain and should easily beat Azu.

I will lean towards Senkuto at this moment simply for the Naakaul augments in the next update possibly making WKR more relevant again.

Yeah. I do WKR whenever I see a shout for it even though now I am very low on Bayld. My Great Katana skill is lacking right now. It's at 313 skilling it up right now. What about the Ichimonji that Spathaian mentions?

In Ionis zones, Tsuru beats Anahera handily on basically everything. Outside Ionis zones, Anahera is generally better. So it would depend more on the content you want to do.

Fair enough. I misread the actual stats on Senkuto, but for a lower delay weapon, it's base damage is pretty nice.

But, you're right that Ichimonji-yofusa should come out on top.

Thanks for making me double check.

Ichimonji is 7k sparks, while Senkuto is around 40k bayld?

I keep forgetting about the 35TP return in ionis zones, and then a minimum of 22tp per hit to go from 35-101tp for another WS.

Ichimonji-yofusa for sure.

Cheaper investment, better return over-all.

Thank you so much for all you guys/girls input. One last question before I go to get some sparks to get my katana. Where is the best place to skill up GK at 333?

Ceizak Battlegrounds on reives.

As long as you have trusts out, like say, Sakura, Kupipi, and Joachim (if you didn't miss him), then you should be solid.

Just swing away at those tree roots

Do you have access to Cherukiki? If you do, Cherukiki is the better option by far.

If you have access to Cheru, swap out Joachim for Ulmia instead.
