− | [[ | + | The '''Half-Zatoichi''' is a [[Steam Workshop|community-created]] [[Promotional items|promotional]] [[Weapons#soldiermelee|melee weapon]] for the [[Soldier]] and [[Demoman]]. It is a [[w:Katana|katana]] with a circular [[w:Japanese sword mountings#Tsuba|crossguard]] with rounded notches, adorned with brown grip wrapping. |
− | + | Upon killing an enemy, the blade becomes blood-stained and the wielder's [[health]] increases by 50% of their max health, potentially granting [[overheal]] (100 HP is granted to the [[Soldier]], 110 HP to a Soldier with the [[Battalion's Backup]] equipped, 88 HP to a [[Demoman]], and 100 HP to a Demoman with the [[Bootlegger]] or the [[Ali Baba's Wee Booties]] equipped). Like its description suggests, Soldiers and Demomen wielding a Half-Zatoichi can instantly kill each other in one hit. However, the weapon is Honorbound: attempting to switch away from the sword (when completely deployed) without killing another player results in a loss of 50 health. If the player's health falls and becomes less than or equal to 50 HP, the weapon cannot be holstered until the player gets a kill or recovers enough health. The Half-Zatoichi is also unable to deal random [[critical hits]]. | |
+ | |||
+ | The Half-Zatoichi has a 50% larger melee range and a 75% longer deploy/holster time, like the other swords for the Demoman. This makes it the Soldier's only weapon with extended melee range other than the [[Disciplinary Action]]. | ||
+ | |||
+ | [[Taunts|Taunting]] as a Demoman with the Half-Zatoichi equipped results in the [[Barbarian Swing]] kill taunt. Successfully killing someone with the taunt grants the healing, and allows the Demoman to sheath the weapon without taking damage. | ||
+ | |||
+ | This item was awarded in [[Genuine]] quality to players who pre-purchased ''[[Total War: Shogun 2]]'' on [[Steam]] before March 15, 2011. | ||

” |
The Half-Zatoichi is a community-created promotional melee weapon for the Soldier and Demoman. It is a katana with a circular crossguard with rounded notches, adorned with brown grip wrapping.
Upon killing an enemy, the blade becomes blood-stained and the wielder's health increases by 50% of their max health, potentially granting overheal (100 HP is granted to the Soldier, 110 HP to a Soldier with the Battalion's Backup equipped, 88 HP to a Demoman, and 100 HP to a Demoman with the Bootlegger or the Ali Baba's Wee Booties equipped). Like its description suggests, Soldiers and Demomen wielding a Half-Zatoichi can instantly kill each other in one hit. However, the weapon is Honorbound: attempting to switch away from the sword (when completely deployed) without killing another player results in a loss of 50 health. If the player's health falls and becomes less than or equal to 50 HP, the weapon cannot be holstered until the player gets a kill or recovers enough health. The Half-Zatoichi is also unable to deal random critical hits.
The Half-Zatoichi has a 50% larger melee range and a 75% longer deploy/holster time, like the other swords for the Demoman. This makes it the Soldier's only weapon with extended melee range other than the Disciplinary Action.
Taunting as a Demoman with the Half-Zatoichi equipped results in the Barbarian Swing kill taunt. Successfully killing someone with the taunt grants the healing, and allows the Demoman to sheath the weapon without taking damage.
This item was awarded in Genuine quality to players who pre-purchased Total War: Shogun 2 on Steam before March 15, 2011.
