Replica Pulse-sword

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

FAQ

Q: Why is this only a "replica" pulse-sword?
A: Original pulse-sword technology was lost during centuries after the Butlerian Jihad. Modern versions are just weak attempts to reconstruct the devastating anti-machine weapons from history.

Q: How does the "small electrical jolt when parrying" work?
A: When parrying enemy attacks you receive a small electrical jolt to the palms, providing a small stamina boost. It's a degraded echo of the original deadly electrical pulse technology.

Q: Is this the strongest blade weapon?
A: Yes, 152.37 damage per hit is the highest of all blade weapons. But 105 attack speed is only medium, so overall DPS might be lower than faster weapons.

Q: Why were original pulse-swords so powerful?
A: During Butlerian Jihad they could cut through thinking machines and destroy their electronics with pulses of deadly electricity. They were strategic anti-machine weapons rather than just melee tools.

Q: Is the selling price of 10,000 Solaris fair?
A: Yes, for the highest blade damage weapon with historical significance. It's a prestigious replica of legendary Butlerian Jihad technology, even though far cry from originals.

Q: Can it be used against electronics like the originals?
 A: No - the modern replica only has small electrical jolt for stamina boost. Lost manufacturing secrets mean the devastating anti-electronic capabilities are permanently lost.
