Notes

• The Kama has one of the highest damage reduction on blocking of all melee weapons, capable of reducing 85% of incoming damage from the front.
• Machete and the Kama share the same moveset; Machete's is updated to match the Kama's.
  • On the same note, the Kama is considered a Machete-type weapon, thus it is able to use the  Sundering Weave and  Cyclone Kraken stances.
• The movement speed per attack varies; the first two side swipes move at walking speed, the third uppercut halts movement, the last downward strike takes a big step forward.
• Enemies are almost always dismembered by the Ground Finisher.

Trivia

• Kama refers to a farming tool. Much like the sickle, it's made for cutting crops and farming rice. It was used as an improvised and easily hidden weapon. Being seen as a farming tool, it could even be hidden in plain sight. Due to this nature it was a preferred weapon for the ninja. It is still used in martial arts training. A famous trick was to attach rope or chain to it so that it could be thrown and be used to trap enemies.
  • Kama is actually a misnomer because kama is plural. The proper name would be gama, since there is only one.
