DESCRIPTION
Lord Karaash utilizes lightsaber gauntlets as his primary means of combat. Over the years and as he accumulated experience he opted for a weapon that suited his method of underhanded dueling more. Instead of the typical lightsaber gauntlet that utilized two lightsaber blades he opted for each gauntlet to emit just one, with a second being a curved and sharpened phrik gauntlet. This feature would serve two purposes - Provide Karaash a weapon to use without needing his lightsaber active that could slice through flesh and puncture armor as well as being able to catch a lightsaber between the phrik blade and his lightsaber's blade when activated, giving him the ability to forcefully direct the direction of his opponent's blade. The lightsaber is activated by clenching one's hand into a grip and a secondary trigger being activated so that the blade is not accidentally turned on while the hand is clenched in a grip.
Strengths:
- [ Surprise ] | A favorable method of underhanded combat - When lightsaber blades meet, the gauntlet's blade can be deactivated, causing the opponent's to fall through and collide with the phrik blade where it gets caught when the gauntlet's blade is quickly reactivated, grabbing the opponent's blade in a claw-like grip.
- [ Durability ] | Like most lightsabers, the lightsaber blade is ineffective against metals resistant to lightsabers, but with the added issue that those metals are capable of dulling or even breaking the bladed portion of the gauntlet.
- [ Disarmament ] | Though it appears the entirety of the gauntlet is made of Phrik, only the bladed portion of it is forged from Phrik. The rest is duraplast and can be cut through, resulting in the potential of being literally disarmed as a lightsaber can slice through both the lightsaber mechanisms and the wearer's arm.
