Notes[]
- The fourth attack of the stanceless/Claws of the Drake combo as well as the Heavy Attack use the whip to ragdoll and pull enemies towards the player.
- The Slam Radial Damage has a 25% chance to inflict the Toxin status effect, but is unaffected by status chance mods.
Trivia[]
- The Mios was designed and submitted by the player RedSkittlez for the Community Melee Weapon Contest.
- The Mios took more than an entire year to be fully developed, being one of the longest weapons in production to be added to the game.
- The Blade and Whip weapon type as a whole is somewhat similar to a Kusarigama or its predecessor the Kyoketsu-shoge, both of which were bladed weapons with a chain attached to the other end of the handle. In both cases however the chain was typically used to immobilize or disarm an enemy rather than directly attack the target.
- The entire weapon is comprised of 2 different blades. The top has a socket that fits into the main bladed part, which increases the visual reach of the weapon.
Bugs[]
- The Mios currently uses the Lacera's cord to connect the hook to the blade.
