Replica Pulse-knife

Replica Pulse-knife is a unique blade of Tier 6 in Dune Awakening, belonging to the Weapons - Short Blades category. During the Butlerian Jihad, pulse-blades were used to cut through the thinking machines and damage their electronics with pulses of deadly electricity. It is said that the secret of their making was lost during the ensuing centuries. This unique blade gives a small jolt of electrical energy to the palms when hitting an enemy — offering a small stamina boost. A far cry from the legendary weapons of the Butlerian Jihad.

FAQ 

Q: What's the difference between Replica Pulse-knife and Pulse-sword?
A: Pulse-knife is a short blade variant with compact design for stealth operations. It has same damage (138.52) and speed (139), but better concealment and faster deployment.

Q: Why does pulse-knife have electrical jolt "when hitting" instead of "when parrying"?
A: Short blades are offensive weapons focused on quick strikes rather than defensive parrying. Electrical jolt when hitting supports aggressive close-quarters combat style.

Q: Is the 42,500 Solaris price justified for a shorter blade?
A: Yes, for a compact Butlerian Jihad replica with identical combat stats. Lower price reflects shorter blade status, but performance is identical to long variant.

Q: It contains Diamodine blade parts - what is that?
A: Diamodine is an advanced compact material used for short blade enhancement. It provides better electrical conductivity in compact form factor.

Q: Is the short blade better for stealth?
A: Definitely yes - compact size enables better concealment, faster deployment, and superior close-quarters maneuverability for stealth operations.

Q: Does it have same electrical capabilities as Static Needle?
A: No - Static has electrical disruption for power system interference, while Pulse-knife has stamina boost as degraded echo of Butlerian Jihad technology.
