Slasher (Chrono Trigger)

The Slasher is Crono's eighth-level katana in. With an attack power of 43 and a speed stat boost of 2, it can be found after defeating Slash.

Story
Crono first encounters the Slasher in Slash's sanctum in the Fiendlord's Keep, where it is mounted on the wall behind his throne. Slash, at first, attempts to subdue the party, using unarmed physical strength. When that fails, he removes the purple-hued blade from its scabbard to finish the job. Once Slash is defeated, he drops the sword and flees. Crono can then take up the sword, which gives him a portion of the speed Slash displayed in their battle.

After resurrecting Crono at Death Peak, Slash is faced again at Ozzie's Fort, where he is armed with the more powerful Slasher II. If Ayla is present in the party, the katana can be charmed. However, at this point in the game, the sword is no longer useful as Crono should have the Rainbow.
