Quickstart

Craft the Voiddraw Katana using the recipe below.
Hold it in your main hand and right-click to switch stances — each switch announces the new stance in chat with a distinct sound and color.
Just keep it in your main hand (no need to attack) to passively gain that stance's buffs.
Attack enemies to apply the stance's unique on-hit effect.
Cycle through all four stances to find the one that fits your combat style, then swap on the fly mid-fight.

Overview

The Voiddraw Katana is a single powerful sword that behaves differently depending on which of its four legendary stances is currently active. Rather than carrying multiple weapons, you carry one katana and reshape its fighting style at will by right-clicking to cycle stances. Each stance grants passive combat buffs while held and applies a unique debuff or effect to enemies you strike.

What It Adds

Voiddraw Katana — a netherite-tier sword that fights in the swords item category, usable anywhere a normal sword works, but with shifting combat techniques.

Crafting And Obtaining

Craft the katana using amethyst shards, an iron ingot, and a stick arranged in a katana-like pattern:

Abilities And Mechanics

Switching Stances: Right-click while holding the katana to cycle to the next stance. A short cooldown prevents rapid-fire switching, and each swap plays a rising-pitch sweep sound and prints the stance name in chat.

The Four Stances

Stance	Passive Buff (while held)	On-Hit Effect
Kenjutsu — The Art of the Sword	Strength I + Resistance I	Weakens the target
Iaido — The Art of the Quick Draw	Speed II	Slows the target
Battojutsu — Explosive Draw Strike	Strength II	Heavily slows and weakens the target, plus extra knockback
Nito-ryu — Two-Sword Style	Haste II + Speed I	(Balanced dual-wield style, focused on speed and utility)

Passive buffs only apply while the katana is in your main hand, and they refresh continuously as long as you keep it equipped.

Progression And Strategy

Use Kenjutsu for balanced, sustained fights where survivability matters.
Use Iaido when you need mobility and want to kite or chase down slowed enemies.
Use Battojutsu as an opening burst stance — its heavy slow, weakness, and knockback make it excellent for controlling a single dangerous target.
Use Nito-ryu when you want faster overall combat tempo, mixing movement and attack speed.
Since switching stances is free (aside from a brief cooldown) and can be done mid-combat, experiment with swapping stances reactively — for example, opening with Battojutsu to stun-lock a foe, then switching to Kenjutsu to finish safely.
