Obtainment

A katana made of fiery metals, forged by demons.

Item Description in Inventory

Rengoku is a Legendary sword.

Rengoku is considered as one of the strongest swords in the Second Sea, due to its simple obtainment and ability to stun Blade users, a very rare trait among swords.

Rengoku could be considered the Second Sea counterpart to Bisento, as both possess high damage and very strong combos.

Obtainment

Rengoku can be obtained by using the Hidden Key to unlock a chest at the Ice Castle, located in the Second Sea. The chest is hidden under the staircase, right below the Awakened Ice Admiral, the entrance of which can be found to the right.

The "Samurai" title #131 will be granted upon equipping Rengoku.

If the slash hits an enemy, it damages them and causes burns that cause tick damage over time. If held: The user's screen will first turn red like flame, then releases a huge wave of flame that deals widespread damage. Deals tick damage over time, similar to the tap variation.

Instinct Chart

Move	Breaks Instinct	Instinct-Trickable	Notes
[Z] Demon Slayer	✅	✅	This move can be started whether the opponent has Instinct on or not. The barrage will not deal damage, but the final slash breaks Instinct
[X] Burning Slash	✅	❌	Breaks Instinct no matter what

Overview

Pros
General Extremely high damage. Good combo potential. Good knockback, which is useful in PvP. Both moves break Instinct. Insane damage in short duration, making Shark and Cyborg users take a lot of damage before they can turn on their Race ability.
[Z] Demon Slayer Dash is very fast. Almost no end lag. Can target multiple players. Damage is still dealt as long as the target has been caught in the dash (Unless "Instinct-Tricked"). Deals damage over time. Good range. Can stun Blade users along with Saishi.
[X] Burning Slash The flames break Instinct. Breaks Instinct on direct contact. Decent AoE when held. No end-lag.

Cons
General Cannot damage Blade users. Low drop chance for the Hidden Key. Bad for in-water combat. Difficult to grind due to dashing from the fourth slash. High mastery requirements.
[Z] Demon Slayer Single target. (Though the flames can damage nearby enemies if they are close)
[X] Burning Slash The flame trail can be dodged easily if not stunned. This move, along with its two variations, does not have any AoE burn when used aerially, making it significantly harder to hit (the tap variation works similarly and has a similar hitbox to awakened Dark's [Z] Dimensional Slash, the held variation works the same, just vertically).

Trivia

Rengoku is an easter egg that the devs added at Update 13.
Before the rework in Update 20, [Z] Demon Slayer did not do burn damage.
Rengoku's moveset post-rework is similar to the Pipe.
Rengoku is the only katana to be out of its hilt in its icon.
[Z] Demon Slayer can sometimes glitch the player out of the map if the flooring is thin like in Kingdom of Rose.
