Siren is a unique dual-form weapon wielded by the Isurugi twins in Hazard ReBurst.
Design[]
The Modular Artifice Armament, codenamed "Siren," consists of a large rectangular silver slab, the Output Artificer (アウトプットアーティファイサー, Autoputto Ātifaisā?), and a sword hilt within a golden halo featuring two energy emitters, the Interface Hilt (インターフェイスヒルト, Intāfeisu Hiruto?). The Interface Hilt's two emitters are positioned at the ring's 12 o'clock and 2 o'clock positions. Installing the Output Artificer at the 12 o'clock emitter activates the Siren Calibur (セイレーンカリバー, Seirēn Karibā?), deploying several Valkorium emitters and unveiling a longsword blade. The other emitter activates the Siren Blaster (セイレーンブラスター, Seirēn Burasutā?), splitting the slab to reveal parallel energy accelerators akin to a railgun and extends a stock. All emitted energy is color-coded to its user, red for Airi and white for Mari. To switch between the two forms, the user taps the bottom of the hilt, reverting the weapon to its core components to then exchange between the emitters.
Each Siren unit can enhance its user's personal Valkorium Edge by substituting the Output Artificer when assuming the Siren Calibur configuration, creating the Aegis Calibur (イージスカリバー, Ījisu Karibā?). Airi installs three of her Razor Novae to activate the Blazing Calibur "Inferno Siren" (焔聖剣インフェルノセイレーン, Enseiken Inferuno Seirēn?), creating a scimitar-esque double-edged sword with a trio of flame vents running along the lower back edge that unleashes red and gold-streaked Valkorium. Mari loads her Photon Edge into the Interface Hilt for the Shining Calibur "Photon Siren" (光聖剣フォトンセイレーン, Kōseiken Foton Seirēn?), enhancing her longsword into a buster sword with a splitting blade and angled guards that vent white and gold-streaked Valkorium.
Capabilities[]
Siren's two components can quickly reconfigure between Calibur and Blaster mode, providing an incredible tactical advantage via instant, seamless transitions between melee and long-range combat. The Siren Calibur produces a compressed Valkorium blade around the physical, greatly improving its cutting ability and durability to withstand enemy Valkorium Edges with ease, though it can retune its energy output to focus solely on offense or defense as needed. At maximum offensive output, the Siren Calibur can sacrifice its energy blade to cut through any and all defenses, requiring a 1 minute cooldown/recharge period.
As the Siren Blaster, the weapon can be recalibrated to fire a wide variety of projectiles, such as standard Valkorium energy bullets, sustained lasers, beams with specific characteristics, and even Valkorium artillery shells not unlike the Armstrong Cannon at low output. However, projectile modification is only accessible when the Cooling Barrel isn't loaded, thus requiring the user to reload to adjust. Once the Barrel is loaded, the ammo type is locked in until the next reload. While the Siren Blaster is specialized for Fire and Light damage, it can use other elements due to the twins' Elementalist Valvrave Archetype.
Trivia[]
- Its name is derived from Artifice Siren from Xenoblade Chronicles 2, while the Aegis Caliburs reference the Master Driver's Firelight Swords (焔光の双剣) from Xenoblade Chronicles 3: Future Redeemed.
