Hey all,
I'm new to gunz and was wondering which of the two melee weapons was better for pvp. Kodachi or Katana? It appears the weight is the same in this version of gunz, so the main(?) disadvantage seems to be removed.
I've seen the guides for void step (using kodachi)+ chaining moves with it, but the people who post videos all seem to be using katanas. Any advice would be helpful-- thanks!
Kodachis have lower delays than the katanas, maybe that.
I was thinking that, but since PVP use of melee seems to be mainly BF/DBF/TBF and delay doesn't matter in the air, is it still a real advantage? If I'm wrong and ground melee is a thing, then somebody please correct me!Quote:

If you want TBF then, take katanas.
wrong. kodachis have shorter delay.Quote:

Ground melee may still be a thing specially when you're just starting to play the game. But for someone who has played the game for a while, i think it just falls to preference. I, personally, like the butterfly animation of kodachis. It just gives a different feel, u know?Quote:

If you're a glad using kodachis could be good since you can have faster void steps and ground slashes than a katana.
Following vid demonstrates nicely:

I think that it's very up to what you are playing at the moment, if normal glads, I'd take the Kodachi's, for Insta / Glad Flips or any gun play Katana for sure.
I personally prefer kodachis because I like to do ground BF combos. The way I see it (my personal opinion):
Katanas
- Higher delay
- Better for insta
- Better for chaining
- Better for BF and DBF
- More variety in donation and event options (5 donation katanas; 5 event katanas)
Kodachis
- Lower delay
- Better for juggling
- Good for ground BF combos
- Easier to TBF
- Less variety in donation and event options (1 donation kodachi; 2 event kodachis)
Same weight and basically same damage.
It's all about personal preference and your fighting style honestly.
real sworders **** with kods because of void step
im not recommend use kodachi since u dont know gladiator, there are guide how to use kods. if u want only spaming so okay but take care kodachi related to glads!
here a video u can learn : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BwV8BrIrwq8
Swords make u look good, with Kodachi's you're automatically decent, cus tbf can be learned within 5 minutes.
I heard you can insta with daggers now, go for katana
