The user spins around, zooming their view out and forming a red and black tornado that stuns and damages targets that are near. Afterward, the user will unleash the tornado, which pulls enemies away and captures and drags any enemies in its path, and then explodes, the explosion will fling enemies towards the user. While this move is held, the tornado will stay in place for some time, dealing extra damage.

The user executes a backflip before crossing their swords in an X pattern, dashing towards the enemy(s) at high speed, and slicing them, dealing high damage. This move can be held to go further and deal more damage. Additionally, when hit, a second explosion will occur, dealing slightly less damage and knocking back the target. Finally, the target will see a large spinning X obstructing their screen when hit. This move can bypass the protection granted by Dragon and Buddha Transformations. This move when held or directly hit Breaks Instinct.

Pros
General Great combo potential. Extremely high damage. All moves are multi-target. All moves can damage enemies in Sea Events. (Although is not recommended to hunt Sea Events with this sword because of the bad hitbox) Great for almost any build. Great for PvP and grinding because of high damage, good cooldowns, fast M1, multi-target, and no dash forward. Doesn't cost money to obtain. (This sword can only be obtained by doing quests)
[Z] Revolving Ravager Long stun if held. Breaks Instinct while holding the move near opponents. Good hitbox. Great combo starter.
[X] Slayer of Goliath Can sometimes break Instinct. Bypasses most of the damage reduction of a transformed Dragon user. Great mobility. Very long range if held.

Cons
General Cannot hit Chop users. Very hard to obtain, as the player needs both Tush*ta and Yama, both swords with 350 mastery points in order to start this puzzle. Some trials, like "Haze of Misery" and "Fear the Reaper" rely entirely on luck and some others can take a lot of time. High mastery requirements.
[Z] Revolving Ravager The projectile can be dodged with Instinct. Not good for farming as the tornado does not drag multiple enemies when released. However, the explosion can hit multiple enemies.
[X] Slayer of Goliath Small hitbox. Hard to hit moving opponents. The second explosion can be dodged with Instinct. The second explosion doesn't occur to the multiple enemies. It can only occur to one enemy.

Cursed Dual Katana is often abbreviated as "CDK" by players.
This sword deals the third highest damage per click out of every sword in the game (the second is True Triple Katana and the first is Triple Dark Blade).
[Z] Revolving Ravager is as fast as Dark Blade's X move, but Dark Blade X move has more range.
375 Mastery is the second highest move mastery requirement of anything that is currently available in the game. Only Death Step's Maximum Overheat is higher, at 400 Mastery.
- Despite this, however, once players reach Lv. 2200, mastery is relatively easy to obtain because they will probably be grinding Cookie Crafters or other NPCS with high mastery rewards (although the NPC's in Haunted Castle are generally considered better to grind because of their fast respawn time).
Cursed Dual Katana And Shark Anchor are the only sword that reduces the effect of increasing armor from any transformations fruit.
There's a glitch where if the user can use the X move and unequip CDK after it does the first damage, the enemy will get stuck permanently until death.
