Flail (Kenji)

The «Flail» (殻竿) was a category of weapons available in «». They were characterized by strong, albeit slow, area-of-effect attacks whilst sporting range greater than that of typical weapons.

Overview
The «Flail» could only be wielded by a player who had the «Mace» and «Throwing Blade» Skills equipped, in a manner similar to how the «Chakram» available on the could only be wielded by those who had the «Throwing Blade» and «Martial Arts» Skills equipped. Unlike most weapons, namely the various classifications of swords, the «Flail» possessed heightened range similar to that enjoyed by a «Spear» or «Pike». Conversely, it suffered from the same weakness: namely the cancellation of their Sword Skills should the weapon hit an obstacle mid-transition. Shinrei preferred the weapons use over others because they could be used one-handed and thus allowed for the wearer to equip a shield. In fact, a shield helped mitigate the main weakness associated with the category.
