Notes

• The ground slam has a chance to inflict a Blast proc.

Trivia

• "Tonbo" (蜻蛉) is Japanese for "dragonfly".
  • The weapon's name is likely derived from the Tonbogiri (蜻蛉切), a spear also known as the "Dragonfly Cutting Spear", and was said to be wielded by Honda Tadakatsu. The spear derives its moniker from the myth that a dragonfly landed on its blade and was instantly cut in two.
• The blade itself resembles those found on Bill polearms, though with significantly larger proportions.
• At its initial release this weapon could not be researched in the Clan Dojo, this was fixed in Hotfix 15.15.0.1.
• Listed as FlowerPowerPolearm in the game files.
