Life Slash

The Life Slash is one of Jaye Tera's permanent Weapons and a yellow variation on the Slash.

Effect
Unlike other Slash-like weapons, it hits with a spread of several separate attacks, each one slightly smaller than normal. They can overlap, thus allowing for their damage to be combined. However, it is still a short-range area weapon. The cooldown timer of the Life Slash has a unique formula such that it does not always get faster monotonically as Tier increases. The vast majority of the time, there will be five slashes. While, in the code, it is possible for there to be as few as three slashes at low tiers, five slashes is first reached at Tier 16, which is coincidentally the same tier the Life Slash begins at. It is also possible to eventually reach six slashes, but this occurs at Tier 55.

Obtaining
The Life Slash is obtained as the first of Jaye's two permanent weapons when he is recruited into your party. This requires first picking up the Toxicity Star, his other signature weapon, in the Cliffside in Backwoods. It is also necessary to visit the room in the Water Tunnel with writing on the walls. Once that has been done, speaking to Jaye in Eastern Top Level will cause him to join you. He will possess a Tier 16 Life Slash as a permanent weapon.
