Katanas And Its Weakness, Plate Armor, And Chainmail.

[firespirit44 1323]

You know we had a arguement like this and it ended in homosexual slurs?

 

And this is going to repeat itself over and over again til the sun dies and the sea dries up.

I thought we already went over this a long time ago, so let me reiterate.

 

The katana is in fact superior to a large array of European weaponry and armor. However, ones created in game are largely made by self proclaimed blacksmiths with a lack of knowledge on the topic. It takes an expert katana craftsman a course of more than a year to produce a single blade, and that's with the help of countless understudies. This isn't a weapon that can be made by any old blacksmith, it was made by someone who had poured their entire life into this art form. These so called katanas in LoTC would likely shatter on first contact. And wielding the thing is a whole skill in its self.

 

So in short, learn more about the weapon, you plebs.

 

It usually takes 6 Months to a Year to make a Katana not Over a Year

Yo bro, do you even watch The Walking Dead? Do you see Michonne cut through the walkers with her katana? They're badass!

Nope, no Japan. I guess that means no Japanese swords. Sorry about that.

Oh, and I'm having trouble spotting Europe too. No European swords or armour then.

What we have is Anthosian armour, and Anthosian swords. And no matter what shape you make your Anthosian sword, it won't have an advantage over another.

Never, ever use that pathetically rigged and utterly terrible video as supporting evidence whatsoever. It is utterly false and inaccurate. They even made the swords out of different quality metals to what they would be forged with. The longsword even appears to have rust for christ's sake!

 

The katana really has no place on LotC, as most European armours render it nigh on useless. And what sort of armour does everyone wear, you may ask? European armour.

 

I don't follow you. The longsword does not have any kind of rust on it, as seen in the first pan-around of the sword. You are probably just seeing some weird camera angle. And how would you know if they made the swords out of different quality metals? Were you involved in the making of the video?

I respectfully disagree. "Anthos" is a fictional world, based off of many multiple cultures in the real world. The longswords we use are all of original European design. So is most of our armour. In fact, most of our blacksmiths and leather workers  are doing nothing more than saying "Bob smiths a sword" and waiting a few days. I don't mean to be cynical, but LotC did take a very large inspiration from the real world, and I don't think it's fair to say that all of our designs are original, and that no sword is better than the other, because that's not true. And furthermore, this discussion isn't about a Longsword vs a Katana (Although I might have turned it into that by accident >.<), It is about the effectiveness of a Katana against various armours. Sorry if I sound rude.

Thank you, someone who realises the katana isn'tan all-mighty ssuperweapon...

[PicassoPotato 63]

Honestly who gives a **** about the tenacity of a katana on european armor. I'm here to have fun not argue over petty things such as metal strength. You have iron armor and a sword. Not half plate spiked shoulder armor and a stainless steel katana folded a trillion times by the master blacksmith everyone seems to know.

[ggggg3g2g245gggg2jjjgh 274]

The katana vs. European sword discussion/argument is probably in the top ten of the worst things the internet has ever created

I wouldn't say that, but it's high up there.

No, our designs are not original. However, they are not a perfect parallel to reality.

That's a Kanta vs wood, it takes a crazy amount of training to properly use a Kanta

[Draeris 3124]
