Invulnerable scrappers get hit, but it doesn't hurt so much. They can develop resistance to all attacks except psychic ones. They also get a pretty good boost to their defense, so they don't get hit all that often, either. It's a very powerful set. Issue 3 reduced the maximum amount of resistance attainable, but also removed the self root from one of the main powers. Invulnerability is still a very powerful defense. Stuff just doesn't hurt you very much.
At release, the animations for Katana were identical to Broadsword. With Issue 2, the animations were completely redone, and much improved. Katana uses less endurance than Broadsword, but doesn't hit quite as hard. It is faster, though, so the damage per second is good. It's a well rounded and effective primary. Like the broadsword, every time you hit an opponent with your katana, it will reduce their defense, making it easier to hit them again.
