Cyberpunk 2077 Katana build 2.0
A katana build focuses onspending perks and attributepoints to maximize your damage and bonuses with a sword. This build not only gets the most out of your sword, but also your knife, and grants some great health advantages to boot. All of this makes for a proper aggressive build with some room to add other supporting perks.

If you notice, I have left the Technical Ability and Intelligence trees untouched, and that is mainly because both of these have nothing to do with the katana build.

Best perks for leveling the Reflexes tree
This tree is the bread and butter for this katana build. Skills like Lead and Steal, Finisher: Bladerunner, Air Dash, and Slaughterhouse are what make this build tick; they make your sword extremely overpowered via crit damage and bullet deflection bonuses.

The Cool tree is probably my favorite, even if it’s just for supporting the Katana with knives. Once it’s set up, when going to a fight you’ll want to throw a knife and collect it to make another headshot with additional damage from the Pay it Forward skill.
