Price at Time of Rating: 10-11m

This weapon currently stocks in the Hidden Tower for 11m.

This is useful for a very specific scenario but it gets the job done -- you have a tanky pet with good defensive measures ready (shields, reflectors, freezers, and Lens Flare / Warlock's Rage), and you're facing off against an opponent or plot boss with very, very high HP. You must survive for 2 turns where using this weapon has no effect, and on your 3rd turn you get to cut down 1/3 of your opponent's health. Be aware that if your opponent has a full healer, you'll want to wait for them to use that up first before you use this item's final form.

Outside of this scenario though, it's a bit too niche and pricey for general equipment sets.

Price/Power (3/5)
If you have a pet capable of lasting three turns against an insanely powerful enemy, this item could be very much your best friend. It is about the only percentage damager in the game.

Countermeasures (2/5)
You have three turns to stop this somehow, if not... Well. Yeah. This item is not too useful in 2p given the fact that few players ever have enough HP to make this worth using. However in 1p it can easily cut down bosses if you have a multi-healing ability to stay alive with.

Alternatives Upgrades or Downgrades
Not really that kind of item friend

Other Points

Final Thoughts
I wonder what the price of this will be if it ever retires.

Price/power (1/5): Takes 3 turns to take away 1/3 of the opponent's HP. You can probably do better with other weapons at this level.

Tactical (1/5): When there's a war, this would probably come in handy during a boss fight, assuming you're able to survive 3 rounds. Otherwise it's likely to be useless.

Bonus (1/1): In memory of Hubrid Nox...

Closing remarks: Get yourself an anagram sword for the exact same price.
