[(PSN)MoRockaPDX]

Blade of the Immortal is a Japanese Manga and Anime created by, Hiroaki Samura. It features numerous fictional weapons of Samura's design, including one wielded by called the Kabutsuchi. Essentially, a sword-like battle-axe, who's wielder invented a unique fighting style specifically for. It is, perhaps counter-intuitively, a graceful and flowing melee style with powerful and violent results.

Attack maneuvers would likely incorporate building of momentum, similar to Crushing Ruin, though with more vertically in line with the body. Strike lunge out of the spins in low to high arcs, or high to low, and expand into 360° circular attacks. Some DPS could be sacrificed to build momentum for strikes, similar to Crimson Dervish. With some attacks landing x2, x3 damage bonus and stagger for finisher set-up.

 

 

Still in the early concept phase here. More too come.

It's a machete with a big hook at the end.

 

Maybe it looks that way at first, but looking closer you will see that its much thicker and likely made from very sturdy and hefty material. It will have the weight of an axe, over that of a machete. It also isn't a hook, but more of a beak, making it a very long axe head, or a very broad tipped sword. Hence, the sword-axe.
