STRENGTHS
- Dexterous Design: Enhanced maneuverability and precision, ideal for Makashi duelists.
- Hand Cage: The hand cage provides additional protection against disarming and hand injuries.
- Water Proof: Will work if wet or underwater and won't short out.
- Improved Grip: The finger rings integrated into the hilt provide enhanced stability and control, ensuring a firm grasp on the sword even in the heat of battle or adverse conditions.
- Enhanced Protection: Offering defensive advantages, the finger rings shield the wielder's hand from errant strikes and accidental slips, minimizing the risk of injury during combat engagements.
- Enhanced Control: With the finger rings, wielders can exert precise control over the sword's movements, facilitating swift and accurate strikes, parries, and thrusts with superior dexterity.
- Balanced Design: Contributing to the sword's overall balance, the finger rings aid in distributing its weight evenly, promoting maneuverability and ease of handling for the wielder.
- Misleading Appearance: The complex and detailed design of the hilt may not immediately resemble a typical lightsaber to unfamiliar observers, potentially leading to misconceptions or underestimations in combat situations.
WEAKNESSES
- Specialized Design: While highly effective in the hands of a practitioner of Makashi, its specialized design may not offer the same advantages in alternative combat scenarios or to wielders with different fighting styles.
- Maintenance: The intricate design and specialized materials require regular maintenance to keep "Requiem" in optimal condition.
- Dependency on The Force: Braze's lightsaber relies solely on the Force for activation, making it vulnerable in environments with strong dark side energy or when facing Force-suppressing opponents. If his connection to the Force is disrupted, he may struggle to ignite or wield his lightsaber effectively, leaving him vulnerable in combat.
- Locking Activator Vulnerability: While the locking activator ensures the blade remains engaged during combat, it also poses a risk if the saber is unexpectedly thrown. If the locking mechanism malfunctions or is tampered with, the blade could remain engaged at an inopportune moment, potentially causing harm to Braze or allies.
- Pressure Grip Disadvantage: Although the pressure grip enhances safety by deactivating the lightsaber when not held, it could become a liability if compromised. If the pressure sensor fails or is manipulated by an opponent, the saber might deactivate at an inconvenient time, leaving Braze momentarily defenseless in battle.
- Misleading Appearance: The complex and detailed design of the hilt may not immediately resemble a typical lightsaber to unfamiliar observers, potentially leading to misconceptions or underestimations in combat situations.
- Complex Design Requires Skill: Due to the intricate and specialized construction of the hilt, wielding the lightsaber effectively may require a certain level of skill, familiarity, or training. Inexperienced or untrained users might struggle to fully utilize its features or may inadvertently misuse the sword in combat, compromising their effectiveness in battle.
DESCRIPTION
Requiem is a unique lightsaber designed by Braze. Its hilt, resembles a rapier with intricate detailing and a slender frame. Crafted with a Light Foil design, it caters to precision and agility, particularly suited for the Makashi combat form.
