Description
Claw comprised of two sharp, thin blades, wielded by the assassins of Ravenmount, this weapon allows them to imitate the attacks of Deathbirds.
Besides excelling at airborne attacks, its charge attack mimics the vicious swoop of a bird of prey.

This weapon has unique R2s that hit twice when two-handed. The first R2 will lunge forward when fully charged while the second R2 will make you jump backwards. Despite the appearance of the R2s, they do not benefit from items that enhance jump attacks.
This weapon's jumping attacks have higher motion values than the other claw weapons leading to a roughly 10% increase.
Sell Value: 100.
