Description:
The Guard Shoto (also known as the 'Lightsaber Tonfa') is a weapon that excels in defensive maneuverings, and allows very fast movement. The only 'Canon' users of this weapon includes Maris Brood, and Sinya. The offensive stats of this weapon has been greatly reduced in comparison to it's normal counterpart, the Shoto.
The point of this guard shoto is to provide a lighter weapon than a traditional lightsaber, and a one-handed defensive option. It could be used for offensive moves however will not be as effective neither as aggressive in comparison to the measures of a standard lightsaber. This shoto can be used to deflect shots by twirling it on either his backside or his front side, or even guard his arm and many other body parts with a simple flick. The reach and utility the weapon offers excels in many ways.
By swinging this weapon beside the arm, one can create a physical 'shield', if they could swing it fast enough. The weapon still proves to follow extremely quick movements such as jabs, slashes and twirls. The defensive maneuvers available, being better, help the user cover every part around him. Blaster bolts are not difficult to deflect with this weapon, however attacking with the guard shoto proves nearly inefficient. It could be used for stabs, feigns and tricks, however in reality this weapon could not easily create a mortal or fatal wound on any opponent without strenuous injury or damage built upon the arms of the user.
