Notes

  • Prior to Update 17.0 (2015-07-31), the Skana was used by Tyl Regor, the final boss of Uranus.
  • Of all the starter weapons available during the Vor's Prize Quest, the Skana is the only one that cannot be bought with Credits, but instead has to be built with a blueprint acquired through the market.

Trivia

  • The Skana was the very first Melee weapon available to new players prior to Update 14.0 (2014-07-18).
  • This sword slightly resembles a katana, a widely-known sword archetype used by samurai during the feudal age of Japan.
    • The Skana more accurately resembles the Russian Shashka, mirroring the curve of the blade and lack of crossguard.
