Notes

• Prior to Update 9, there were no knives visible in the quivers.
• The trails from thrown blades are affected by your energy color.

Trivia

• A "monofilament" is a type of wire or edge, consisting of a single strand or side of strongly bound together molecules. This creates an edge that is micron or even nanometer thin, the sharpest possible.
  • Typically, they are applied as a cutting tool or a weapon that can sever nearly any object or other molecules.
  • Organic molecular wires have been proposed for usage in optoelectronics.
• Similarly to the  Hikou and  Kunai, the Despair is a secondary thrown weapon that deals mostly  Puncture damage.
