I apparently can't quote links yet but those builds were exactly what i've been looking for, thank you!

...Though

by ignoring bow, you're ignoring massive free damage that katana cannot replicate against many bosses.

Its quite obvious that everyone else knows something about bows that I don't so if its not too much trouble would y'all mind elaborating?
I obviously have to reconsider my stance on bows or being a sole melee player in general.

Banish arrow. It stores all damage done by the shooter, and deals it again when it explodes.

Basically what you want to do with bow is:

Prep x3 Chase Arrow (optional) --> Banish --> Charged Kamikaze --> Charged Kamikaze.

Just to give you some numbers as references (Running Hybrid BrHu Build), with Full S-Atk Mag and units affixed for S-Atk (however, bow will be spec-ed for R-Atk), you'll be doing over 1 million damage to wb'd Anga Core, wb'd PD Core, wb'd Loser Core.... and ~400-500k damage on Wolga, etc.

Not to mention Exodas in TD4 are a joke with banish.

Like others said, unlike bow, katana cannot replicate this kind of damage against some bosses.

Bows aren't essential. If you already put your skill points into a Katana build then don't worry about it.

You will have ~15 points left even with a 'pure' katana build, which is enough for maxed rapid shot mastery, and 7 points for the R atk ups, or CD reduction.

Thats actually really enticing , especially since I just saw someone do that to a Exoda in TD4. I guess I really should use bow huh.
By the way do I have to charge banishing before double charged kamikaze?
If anything it just feels kinda slow to set it up now but that'll probably change if i put some points into that charge bonus skill I think?

I actually have around 30(?)points to spend, most of them are already in average stance stuff though so hmm.
Wonder if i can still make this work.

No.

Edit:

More precisely, charging Banish only increases its AoE, but in no way does it increase its damage. Therefore, charging Banish isn't necessary.
