Naginata

The Naginata is a Japanese polearm that can be found in the Chrysanthemum Chest in the Teahouse introduced in the v0.7.3 "" update.

History
The Naginata was originally invented in Japan as a Japanese polearm. It was used by the the samurai class, and is still often used in the naginatajutsu martial arts. It is known for its long blade and its efficiency. It had a blade similar to the Katana, and the long handle was used to be held with both hands of a samurai.

Strategies
The Naginata can be used similarly to the Katana, in most situations. Think of it as an upgraded Katana, with higher damage and longer range but with a slower attack speed.

Pros

 * Longer range than the Katana, being a polearm weapon.
 * Good damage, more than the Katana but less than the Pan.
 * Very good for rushing teams.
 * Can destroy armored crates as fast as the stone hammer

Cons

 * Long swing delay
 * Hard to find, and one might not even spawn in a game
 * Being a polearm weapon means that it's hard to hide with weapon equipped.
 * People will target you to no end if they see you with it
 * It cannot hit people directly next to you, as the stick part of it does no damage (Unconfirmed)

Trivia

 * It's the second Japanese-styled melee weapon in the game, with the Katana being the first.
 * It's also the first polearm melee weapon to be in the game.
 * It's the largest melee weapon in the game, beating even the Katana.
 * The blade of the Naginata is similar to the one in the Katana, but it’s longer handle allows a player to hit an enemy from a longer range.
