Katana Parry.png Divine Avalanche

If you didn't take Gambler's Cut, this will make a decent Brawl replacement at higher levels for filling the gaps in attack chains. Each swing grants a temporary, short-term bonus to Defense, making it much easier to avoid damage.

Katana Disembowel.png Soaring Dragon

You perform a powerful Soaring Dragon maneuver that deals a great amount of lethal damage, and can knock a target up into the air. This attack can reduce a target's Defense, making him easier to hit. Damage: Superior, Recharge, Moderate

Sometimes a tiny bump in your attack chain as they may land just out of melee range, but the damage is worth it.

Katana HeadSplitter.png Golden Dragonfly

According to the description, a cone melee with relatively long range. Being Hidden doesn't guarantee a critical; instead, this always has a chance to deal a Critical Hit, Hidden or not.
