You equip one weapon kit, and a shotgun is one of them, short barrel and all. The path says Slayer, Demon, or either, which decides the farm before the damage number does.
How to use this collection
Path is Slayer, Demon, or Either. A blank path was not settled, so it is not a yes for both races. Additional damage is the flat bonus. Damage factor is the multiplier, and a blank factor is not zero: that number was not settled. Block, block regen, max stamina, and damage reduction are the other combat lines. Axe and Mace leaves damage, factor, and block empty and only shows damage reduction. Extra stats cover Sun Immunity, movement speed, and stamina regen when those were settled. How to get is the shop price, drop, or craft. Coin prices are Wen.

Match the path before the bonus
Slayer weapons follow a breathing style. That covers the katanas, plus the Spear, Tanto, Shotgun, and Axe and Mace. Demon weapons are Sickles, Blood Sickles, Scythe, War Fans, and Claws.
Upgrades keep the base path, and a blank stays blank. Firstlight Bladed Wagasa is the exception, marked Either. Hold a Damascus Bladed Wagasa and Wagasa Maker Genzo gives you the schematic, so a Slayer is not locked out of that parasol.
Regular Katana, Fancy Katana, Ocean Wave Katana, Cutlass, Gauntlets, Damascus Gauntlets, and Nightfall Gauntlet have no path. That is not a quiet yes for both races. The split was never settled.
Pick a bonus you will actually use
Additional Damage is a flat add. Damage factor multiplies the hit. Block is how much guard you have, and block regen is how fast that guard comes back.
When the factor is blank, use the block and the extra line that are actually there. Water Katana is the early Slayer guard pick, with +3.5 Block and 1.15x block regen. Tidal Katana keeps the shape at +4.5 Block and 2.15x block regen.
War Fans are the Demon opener at +3 Block. Tanto is the Slayer cache blade at +2.85 Block, which is the pick if you are opening caches instead of farming Giyen.
Insect Katana and Thunder Katana trade some guard for 1.08x movement speed and 1.07x stamina regen. Butterfly Katana and Thundercloud Katana raise that to 1.1x movement and 1.09x stamina regen. Firstlight Insect Katana reaches 1.12x movement and 1.1x stamina regen, and its damage factor stays unset.
Sun Immunity is the daylight answer, and a bigger damage number will not replace it. It is on Bladed Wagasa, Damascus Bladed Wagasa, Firstlight Bladed Wagasa, and Damascus Claws.
Damage reduction is the Stone line, not a hidden stat on every heavy weapon. Axe and Mace, dropped by the Stone Trainee, only settles +0.85 Damage Reduction. Seismic Axe and Mace lists +1.5, and Nightfall Axe and Mace lists +2.3, so do not paste those later numbers back onto the base drop.
Many schematic weapons offer +5.75 Additional Damage at 1.14x or 1.15x, plus +5 Max Stamina. Compare the flat bonus, multiplier, and guard together rather than choosing by the weapon name.
The same job has a different weapon once you change path.
| You want | Path | Earlier | Later |
|---|---|---|---|
| More block | Slayer | Water Katana | Tidal Katana |
| More block | Demon | War Fans | Damascus War Fans, then Firstlight War Fans |
| More speed | Slayer | Insect Katana or Thunder Katana | Butterfly Katana, Thundercloud Katana, then Firstlight Insect Katana |
| Sun Immunity | Demon, or Either on the last wagasa | Bladed Wagasa | Damascus Bladed Wagasa, then Firstlight Bladed Wagasa. Damascus Claws have it too |
| Less damage taken | Slayer | Axe and Mace | Seismic Axe and Mace, then Nightfall Axe and Mace |
| A higher damage factor | Slayer | Serpent Katana | Serpentine Katana |
Craft from the matching base
A breathing upgrade wants its own drop. Wind becomes Tornadic Katana, Flame becomes Volcanic Katana, and Sound becomes Reverb Cleavers. Insect becomes Butterfly Katana, Serpent becomes Serpentine Katana, Thunder becomes Thundercloud Katana, and Water becomes Tidal Katana.
Those katana crafts spend Points, not Wen. Damascus rows are the crafted step for fists, fans, sickles, the scythe, the spear, the tanto, the shotgun, claws, and the wagasa. They do not list that breathing material bill, so do not copy it onto a Damascus craft.
Seismic Axe and Mace is the crafted Axe and Mace, and it is not a Damascus name. Enryu Katana, Shinkage Katana, and Tengoku Katana are the Hidden Mist step, with the same +1.25 Additional Damage, 1.02x factor, and +0.9 Block. No smith and no material list is named for them.
Shotgun is the other early craft: take the Lost Slayer schematic during Final Selection, then pay 10,000 Wen. Lost Shotgun is a later schematic weapon, and that Final Selection fight does not cover it. Nightfall Claws has no settled spot either, so do not walk a guessed lair for it.
The settled schematic spots are Nightfall Katana, Nightfall Serpent Katana, and Firstlight Bladed Wagasa. The other schematic weapons are real. Their spots are just not settled.
Ores are a later pass
You can refine a weapon you already hold with ores. That pass does not change the boss, cache, or craft that got you the weapon. The ores are not part of the combat line here.
Small mistakes that waste a trip
- Fancy Katana costs 1,500 Wen and adds 1 Additional Damage. Regular Katana costs 500 Wen at the Windy Peak weapon shop and adds no bonus. The extra Wen is not a hidden damage factor.
- Gauntlets come from the Black Market salesman, about every 2 hours. No Wen price is printed. Do not invent one for the trip.
- Ocean Wave Katana adds 1 Additional Damage and has no shop, boss, or recipe. Do not assign it a farm.
- Cutlass drops from Zuko at Windy Peak about 20% of the time. The high rate is the easy part. The bonus is small.
- Tanto cache rates are 5% in tier 3, 2.5% in tier 2, and 1.25% in tier 1. Scythe is 7%, 3.5%, and 1.75% on those same tiers. The rarest tanto roll is tier 1.
- Sound Katana is also called Sound Katanas. Sickles are also called Sickle. Enryu Katana is also Enry Katana. Gauntlets are also Gauntlet, and Ocean Wave Katana is also Oceanwave Katana.
FAQ
Are weapon prices in Yen?
No. Shop prices and the shotgun craft use Wen. Breathing dungeon upgrades spend 90,000 Points as well as scraps, silk, and mythic ore. Points are not a second name for Wen.
Who sells the shop katanas?
Regular Katana is the Windy Peak weapon shop, for 500 Wen, and it has no combat bonus. Fancy Katana is 1,500 Wen for +1 Additional Damage, with no shop printed. No seller name is used for either buy.
What are the Axe and Mace damage and block?
Those lines were not settled. The Stone Trainee drop only settles +0.85 Damage Reduction. Seismic Axe and Mace and Nightfall Axe and Mace list their own damage, factor, and block. Do not copy those onto the base weapon.
Is Lost Shotgun the Final Selection craft?
No. The Final Selection Lost Slayer schematic, then 10,000 Wen, makes the Shotgun. Lost Shotgun is a separate schematic weapon, and its spot is not settled.
