Get the details below.
■ Haseo’s 5th Form Exclusive Weapon: “The Gate of Ouroboros”
5th Form Haseo is equipped with a powerful and exclusive sword called “The Gate of Ouroboros.” The weapon is classified as an “Eight Phase Sword,” and as its name suggests, it is a special sword that possesses the Epitaphs and power of all eight Phases.
*Dual Swords, Broadswords, Scythes, and Dual Guns, which can be used up until Xth Form Haseo, cannot be used by 5th Form Haseo.
A Variety of Attacks through Form Changes
The blades of the Gate of Ouroboros are divided by Phase. The sword enables Haseo to fight while changing into various forms such as whip to mow down enemies or unleash a big slash attack covered in energy.
—After slashing the enemy with The Gate of Ouroboros in the form of a long sword, change it into the form of a whip to mow down the enemy with multi-stage hits.
—Make away with your sword to rapid-fire countless bullets of light from each Phase. The amount of hits will increase the more you press the button.
—A big slash attack in which Haseo swings his energy-covered sword down at the enemy.
■ The Arts of All Eight Phases
When Haseo transforms into his 5th Form, his regular arts disappear and he can only use exclusive arts that harbor the power of eight unique Avatars. Since the capabilities of various existing arts are sublimated together, they become techniques of great power.
Also, when using the exclusive arts, the Gate of Ouroboros changes into various forms of energy weapons.
“Fierce Decapitation” – The Terror of Death
