Notes

• As a Signature Weapon, Volnus gains a bonus effect with  Gara or  Gara Prime, gaining 100% additional radial slam attack damage.

Trivia

• Volnus is derived from the Latin word vulnus, which means "wound" and is the origin of the word vulnerable.
  • This may be a reference to the weapon's high proportion of  Slash damage.
• Upon performing a slam attack, glass shards will fly out from the point of impact. This is purely a visual effect.
