Notes[]
- The Jat Kusar, unlike other Blade and Whips, does not ragdoll and pull enemies towards the player upon landing the fourth attack of the stanceless/Claws of the Drake combo or Heavy Attacks.
- Instead, Heavy Attack direct hits only knock enemies down, while the explosions ragdoll and throw the enemy a small distance straight up into the air.
- The Slam Radial Damage has a small chance to inflict the Heat status effect, but is unaffected by status chance mods.
Trivia[]
- The Jat Kusar is the winning entry of Digital Extremes' The Best Defense Melee Creation Contest. It was designed by Silverbones, who also created the Silva & Aegis, another Heat-based melee weapon.
- In the Jat Kusar's concept art, Silverbones refers to the weapon as a "Plasma Kusarigama".
Bugs[]
- The explosion caused by Heavy Attacks is not centered on the visual explosion. It is instead centered on the player, like a Slam Attack.
