Hunter’s Chain Sickle

Speed and strings

Used on a button press for Sha-Chi Essence; close-range burst or execution tools that reward timing.

Skills

Each weapon unlocks these moves at levels 5, 10, 15 and 25 — the effect of every unlock is listed underneath.

• Shadow Bound

  End a combo with a heavy or light attack to pull the locked-on enemy toward Soul; if the target has Super Armour or is large, Soul is pulled toward it instead. No extra Remnant Spark.

• Relentless Pursuit

  Lv. 1/2/3: chain sickle damage against burning, frozen, paralysed, poisoned or bleeding enemies is slightly, moderately, then greatly increased.

• Chain-Sickle Traverse

  Block + Phantom Edge hurls the sickle at the ground or a wall and vaults you toward it; no Remnant Spark outside combat.

• Deathchase Cyclone

  At the end of a combo, press the Phantom Edge button to whirl the sickle into a cyclone that continuously damages enemies inside it.
