INCOMING TRANSMISSION: About your sword...
Listen up, soldier! No trooper in their right mind would ever go into battle without a proper weapon at their disposal.
We will be equipping you with our latest energy-based technology.
(Above: Blueprints made to showcase how the sword design functions)
You are a solar powered robot, so finding energy should not be much of an issue for you. However, since you are going to be headed deep into the core of Veraxus we suspect that your energy levels will decrease rather rapidly. You won’t have any easy access to sunlight while exploring the core of a large, metal planet.
That’s why we’re sending you in with this sword. Striking other machines or robots with this blade drains their electricity and funnels it back into you. If you attack anything with a power source, you should receive enough charge to finish your mission. Considering the mission, you should have no problem finding enough enemy robots to take power from as Veraxus will undoubtedly try everything in its power to protect its core.

But that’s not all that this sword can do. If you find that you’ve stored up so much energy from fighting the enemy that you have some to spare, you can use the blade to release that power into special attacks that will help you get the upper hand in a pinch. From long distance attacks like throwing a burst of electricity, to more defensive abilities such as creating a temporary barrier around yourself. You can even throw your sword at enemies out of your reach – thanks to its magnetic properties, it will come right back to your hand.
So, what are you waiting for? Grab your sword and get out there, soldier!
