It's the serrated blade damage type. If the enemy was chopped in half, or was dismembered, the blade will continue to the next target, and the next. Dread arrows work the same way, being blade type damage. This is what give hikou the edge in my opinion. It sort of has an innate puncture like dispair, and has no weakness against any enemy type.
