Senjuinrikio  

Ive been questioning this for years.

When i equip Senjuinrikio in the main hand and use a multi-hit WS, the WS usally deals the high side damage, more than having the a Fudo in the main.

I think this is because the Senjuinrikio(+6%) is 150% the +crit Fudo(+3%) would give to your main hand. So when you WS with Senjuinrikio in the main hand your hits from that WS are more likely to be critical hits.

I still cant confirm the statements with solid data, but from experience what you say about the weapons +critcal traits only affecting the hand its equipped in might very well be true.

I got this a day ago. my NIN is only lvl 10 =(

hmm i thought it were 3 point for fragmentation, 5 points when you do Light skillchain.
My morgenstern didn't do 500 skillchains for sure, took me lots of hours thou.

Woot just got this bad boy yesterday.... >< i got Heart Snatcher on my 1st run, but since i got play Thf n/e more it really didnt excite me, but the 2nd run drop my katana.

Unlike Str+ and other stat bonuses, Crit+ wont add to your Criticals all together, So don't misunderstand having a Fudo and this together adds +9 to all your crits, it only affects each weapon itself, Which is still cool but not Awesome.

/comfort

guess it would make you mad but we did 6 runs lastnight on siren server and nothing good dropped sep 5 katanas got mine and started workin on it

I received this on my first KS 30 Run, did not get any claws tho >:(, so after I got Blade: Ku, I continued to do SC'S with this Katana in Quick Sand Caves. I was doing 40-50dmg with this one and 109dmg with fudo. After about an hour and a half of SC's(Distortion with 60Thf) I noticed I was hitting Critical way more and I also noticed that both katanas were doing same dmg. So I fought a few more mobs and the dmg stayed the same, so I think I broke the latent effect. Did not count SC's tho. again took about an hour, hour and a half.

The way this Katana works:

You get it, it has crappy damage, until you do 500 WS points. I closed a bunch of level 2 using Jin farming with a friend of mine. It took several days. All of a sudden, it changed, and suddenly started going the same damage as my Fudo. Now I off hand it with my Fudo for a total of +9% crit hit. It is arguably one of the best Katana in the game for crit hit. Once unlocked it does 38 base damage all the time. It is very easy to get. Get a group together to do KS30, and ask if you can lot this if it drops on someone's orb.

I also have a heart snatcher, which is a NIN equipable dagger level 73 once clean it does 24 damage and +6% crit hit. I'm still working on cleaning this one. I usually clean it when farming in Sky. Once I have it clean I will dual wield this and the Senjuinrikio for +12% crit hit.

The Senjuinrikio is a better Katana than the one that drops of the Mother Globe. I got the MG Katana the other day, and spent some time comparing them. The Sen is better.

it this even worth the troble of a bcnm

definatly true, 500 WS points on same scale as WS latent. very noticable differnce in both dmg and crit%

The latent is activated after using the weapon as your main, in 500 weapon skills. There is also rumor that the 6% is more often then that....I'll post some parser results someday.

I try to get 500 and proof it, many NIN friends say its true but i havent seen one without latent effect yet.

I have this...and am told you get the latent by 300 pts....just like a trial weapon. Can anyone confirm this?
