This weapon is a traditional Japanese sword with a curved single-edge blade. The name roughly translates to “Kiss of the Vampire”, hinting at its bonus effect.

Parts Used

This weapon uses the Katana Protective Sheath mesh from the Gun Runners' Arsenal DLC without modifying its appearance.

Perks and Challenges

The following properties, perks and challenges apply to this weapon:

• Curios and Relics
• You Don't Belong in This World!

Usage Notes

The sword does a base damage of 10 (less than half the base damage of the unmodded katana added by the Gun Runners' Arsenal DLC) but does an additional amount of bonus damage based on the player's Melee Weapons skill, and restores the player's hit points by that same amount. The bonus will differ depending on the creature type you are attacking (i.e. The weapon has no leeching effect against robots, since they aren't alive and therefore have no health to steal). Low-Agility players also have a greater chance to damage the weapon with their lack of finesse.

Procurement

This weapon can only be be acquired by offering 2,500 HP to The Bronze Oracle, and presenting a generic Katana to be converted. It cannot otherwise be obtained without console commands.
