SPECIAL FEATURES

• Red Synthetic Kyber crystal
• Phrik Hilt
• Bifurcating Cyclical-Ignition Pulse

DESCRIPTION
These lightsabers were the first to be constructed by Jack, and with this he took the opportunity to make something, non-standard, while the tonfa saber wasn't a unique design it was rare and Jack wanted something like this to fit his more unique and unorthodox fighting style. Part of this being the ability to use the hilts in combat, either in defence or offence, so Jack made the hilts out of phrik, that way he could use them to block a saber, or deliver a nasty blunt force blow to an opponent.

Strengths:

• Can cut through many materials with relative ease.
• Hilt can not be damaged by other lightsabers
• Very good in close quarters, "knife fight" ranges then a standard saber

Weaknesses:

• Cortosis will short the blade if in contact.
• Odd rare hilt means that using this weapon is difficult without training
• Deflecting blaster bolts is much more difficult then standard saber

Very cool to see some Tonfa sabers around here. However, I will go ahead and recommend some stuff to you to make the sub more consistent throughout.

For your strengths you can mention that the weapon is supurb in its usage in tight quarters, and works very well with close quarter combat.

For your weaknesses, you can add one where the lightsabers are difficult to use against larger weapons such as your standard lightsaber, and larger weapons in general due to the Tonfa fighting style, and the shorter blades of the weapons.

Another weakness you can add, is that it can be difficult to block blaster bolts due to the design of the tonfa. While it can be done, and is very much possible, it is more difficult than your average lightsaber.

Again, these are just recommendations that I have to add some balancing to your submission.

Let me know if you add them.

Me being dead AF IRL I definitely like you suggestions and will be including the close quarters strength and blaster deflections weakness
