Kusabimaru
Kusabimaru is a katana from EpicFight Nightfall. It is weapon 37 of 42 in Path of the Samurai, a Pursuit of Mastery quest chapter. It is the sword of the Divine Heir, a shinobi’s blade whose skill, Ashina, gives it a different strike on the ground, in the air, on a dash and while sneaking. It is also the first step of the HF-MURASAMA line, which upgrades into HF-MURASAMA and then HF-BLADE.
Obtaining#
It is made at a Mechanical Fusion Anvil by fusing one katana with a High-frequency Alloy (High-frequency Alloy). Any of these katanas works as the base:
- Katana (Katana, EpicFight-Resurrection)
- Akaname Katana
- Jorogumo Katana
- Kitsune Katana
- Onibi Katana
- Oni Katana
The alloy is crafted from diamonds, netherite ingots, witherite ingots and an Infused Breath (see Act IV Materials). The undead Rotten Titans of the Past carry a Kusabimaru (Rotten Soldiers).

Usage#
Kusabimaru (item tooltip)
The blade passed down by the Divine Heir of the Dragon’s Heritage; The name ‘Kusabimaru’ carries a wish—even if a shinobi is fated to kill, they must never abandon the last shred of mercy in their heart…
Its innate skill is Ashina. The tooltip lists a strike for each situation: Dragon Flash on the ground, Sakura Dance in the air, Shadow Rush on a dash and Ichimonji: Double while sneaking. With Nightfall Enhance installed the tooltip also ends with a line about a further technique, “Sneak & NightFallArtKey & Skill have learnt: WU SHEN ULTIMATE TECHNIQUE THE THREE FORMS OF ZERO INTENT”. It needs the Nightfall art key and a learned skill, and the text doesn’t say which. The moves themselves are under Moveset.
