The Dragon Nikana has the best raw damage of all the non-heavy weapons. It has average crit and mult, average status, average speed (It is faster than the galatine assuming most people don't have Tempo Royale). Some stances make it slash horizontaly, hitting everything in front of you in 180°.

It's only default is that is has very low stagger resistance thus making you prone to being knocked down by heavy units.
