• Aim for the head and control your distances between you and your enemies is the key to master the Wakizashi.
• Wakizashi's primary slash's range is further but weaker than the secondary slash and can only damage a single enemy.
• Wakizashi's secondary slash is stronger and able to damage multiple enemies but has shorter range than the primary slash.
• Unlike Dual Wakizashi, it has attack delay if primary slash missed
• Recommended for Knife Battles and Zombie Scenario.

When chased by the enemy, run backward and use primary attack.

Use secondary slash in surprise attacks or when the enemy is not aware of your existence.

Keep your range from the short range melee so you can attack enemy but they cannot.

Do primary slash on the head or secondary slash on the back for an instant kill.

Wakizashi's secondary slash can kill multiple enemies.

It is the best to use primary slash for rushing or escaping.

Do not confront mini-bosses especially with secondary mode unless in dire situation.

Skilled players can use this in zombie mods.

Primary slash for surprise attack purposes and secondary slash to confront zombies.

It is the best to attack zombies with the Wakizashi when they're not aware or when the zombie is weak to lower the chance of being infected.

Aim for the head/back to deal massive damage.

Combine with high-stun primary and secondary weapons such as XM1014 and Dual Infinity to maximize Wakizashi's abilities.
