Chikage

	Chikage
	Foreign-made weapon wielded by the royal guards who protect Annalise, Queen of the Vilebloods at Cainhurst Castle. When the intricate, rippled engraving that spans the Chikage's blade is imbrued with blood, the sword sings in scarlet hues. However, the rite eats away at the wielder's very essence.

Notes

• Drains 0.8% of total HP every second while the weapon is in Trick form.
  • Loss cannot be regained via Rally.

• All attacks in Trick form will scale with Bloodtinge.
  • Strength and Skill scaling are ignored for attacks.
  • Physical and Thrust attack numbers are ignored, though their properties still apply.
    This is only noticeable/helpful when striking certain enemies weak to Thrust attacks.
  • Though attacks inherit the Blood property, attacks cannot cause enemies to stagger.

• Cannot use any Left Hand Weapons while using the weapon in Trick form.
  • Pressing L2 will execute unique attacks (see Move Set for details).

• Empty Phantasm Shell, Fire Paper, and Bolt Paper effects cannot be applied to this weapon.
