Katana is a Blade released by Hasbro as part of the Burst System as well as the QuadDrive System. It debuted in western countries with the release of the Katana Muramasa M7 and Vanish Cobra C7 Dual Pack.
Description
Hasbro's Katana is a round right-spin Stamina Type QD Blade featuring a design with two hands holding Muramasa katana swords. The round shape of Katana creates decent Outward Weight Distribution (OWD), however its light weight and sloped sides make it outclassed by other Energy Layers for Stamina Combinations. Like other QD Blades, Katana can switch between Apex and Core Modes by swapping the position of the Gravity Ring from the top of the Blade (Apex) to below it (Core).
Despite its Stamina Type classification and round shape, Katana is thin with a hollow underside, making it lighter than other Stamina Type Blades. Its perimeter is also slightly sloped, and its weight distribution is unimpressive due to the hollow underside. Katana is consequently outclassed by thicker and heavier Stamina Type Blades such as Gambit and Whirl.
Overall
QuadDrive Layers like Katana are outclassed in the format by Takara Tomy's heavier Dynamite Battle Layers.
As such, Katana is not recommended for the Burst Format.
In the Burst GT Format, QuadDrive Layers are outclassed by heavier Takara Tomy Gatinko Layers.
As such, Katana is not recommended for the Burst GT Format.
Due to its light weight and mediocre Stamina performance, Hasbro's Katana has no competitive advantage over other Layers in the format.
As such, Katana is not recommended for the Burst Limited Format.
Katana is not legal in the Burst Classic Format.
