The Katana is a secondary weapon in the War of the Chosen expansion for XCOM 2. It is the signature weapon of the Chosen Assassin.
The Katana is the most powerful melee weapon available to XCOM. While it has no status secondary effect like the Arc Blade or Fusion Blade, the Katana deals more damage, ignores up to 5 armor on the target, and attacks cannot miss or graze the target, meaning it will always deal full damage.

Notes[]
- While it is stated to never miss, there are very few situations where even the Katana will fail: Spectres who trigger Bladestorm will still evade the Katana if their Lightning reflexes trigger and Mutons can still use Counterattack.
