Kunai, Hikou, And Despair.

[Flackenstien]

These olden day weapons feel rather outdated in terms of both Crit & Status.

 

Long story short, I feel that these weapons could use better Critical stats.  

Also, the Hikou weapons could have their damage types redistributed for further differentiation between the shuriken-type secondary weapons.

 

Kunai

Critical Chance: 2.5% -> 15%

Critical Damage: 1.5x -> 2.0x

Status: 2.5% -> 15%

 

Hikou

Damage: Puncture and Slash are swapped.

Critical Chance: 2.5% -> 10%

Critical Damage: 1.5x ->2.0x

Status: 2.5% -> 10%

 

Hikou Prime

Damage: Puncture and Slash are swapped. Damage distribution may need further tweaking.

Critical Chance: 2.5% -> 15%

Critical Damage: 1.5x -> 2.0x

 

Reasoning for Hikou weapons having lower Crit stats: They're much faster, have much bigger magazines, the Prime has a faster reload, and they would now have access to Bleed procs.

 

Despair

Critical Chance: 2.5% -> 20%

Critical Damage: 1.5x -> 2.0x

Status: 2.5% -> 15%

 

Also, I think it would be neat if we got Ether Kunai.  

They could be slower, with a smaller mag, but with greater damage.

 

Be sure to leave any opinions below.

Sure, a Despair buff. +1

That weapon is a pain to get, and a pain to use.

there's just so much...
First yeah, their crit is low due being extremely fast, and right now they already do a lot. Despair is extremely strong. Hikou Prime is Fast as hell.

If you want to make them into one-shot-sniper-pistols making them slower and with higher crit, instead of asking for that change just don't use them and look for other weapons that already do that. Or just use a Bow as primary and done.

 

Now About Ether Kunais / Shurikens
i mean you  do know that the focus of the "ETHER" weapons is that they are a lot faster, but do less damage or have lower critcs, so your Ether Idea of making them slow doesn't fit at all. But i would like to see how fast some Ether Kunais could go.

They're still plenty good, so they don't really need a raw damage buff.  Buffing their crit values to the standard 5%/2.0x values would be welcome.  10% or so status chance also sounds right, with the Despair and Hikou Prime maybe having 12% or something.  Giving Hikou a Slash focus is a good move.  Otherwise I say keep them as-is.
