⚔ KATARS – NEW WEAPON ⚔
════════════════════════════════════
❖ What are Katars?
Katars are a new melee weapon type, closely related to Daggers, but with a distinct identity focused on high mobility, aggressive positioning, and tactical disengagement.
While they belong to the same weapon family as Daggers, Katars introduce a different combat flow that rewards fast decision-making and creative weapon synergy.

COMBAT
════════════════════════════════════
❖ Basic Attack
The basic attack of Katars is not a standard melee swing.
Instead, it simulates the charged attack of Daggers, performing a short forward dash on every attack.
This allows players to quickly close gaps and maintain constant offensive pressure.
❖ Ultimate Ability
The ultimate ability of Katars is a powerful mobility-based attack:
A long forward dash
Immediately followed by
Two forward slashes forming an X-shaped attack
This ability excels at repositioning, breaking through enemies, and dealing high burst damage in a wide area.
════════════════════════════════════
DEFENSE & MOBILITY
════════════════════════════════════
❖ Defensive Attack
When blocking and attacking at the same time, Katars perform a backward dash.
This mechanic allows players to:
Disengage safely
Avoid dangerous attacks
Reposition quickly during combat
This makes Katars especially effective for hit-and-run playstyles.
════════════════════════════════════
LIGHT & SYNERGY
════════════════════════════════════
❖ Special Katars: Thorium & Adamantite
The Thorium and Adamantite Katars require crystals in their crafting recipes.
In exchange, they gain unique properties:
Thorium Katar
→ Emits a green light
Adamantite Katar
→ Emits a red light
These light sources are not only visual effects, but can also be used strategically in dark environments.
❖ Off-Hand Usage
Thanks to their ability to:
Emit light
Perform a backward dash while blocking
Katars can be equipped in the off-hand, opening up powerful combinations.
Examples:
Pickaxe + Katar
Axe + Katar
One-handed Sword + Katar
Crossbow + Katar
While using your main tool or weapon, Katars allow you to:
Illuminate your surroundings
Escape quickly using the defensive dash
