SPECIAL FEATURES
Lava crystal: The unusual lava crystals used in the weapon create a heavier and quite powerful blade that offers a lot more when it comes to inertia and offensive ability. As not only does it create a very strong, and even weighted blade, but the splashing of the apparent lava can cause additional damage to an opponent if used correctly. Along with the heat being a useful tactic to disorient and distract them by forcing it closer and closer.
Electrified pommel: The phrik pommel is designed to be able to be electrified in the same way an electrostaff is with varying intensities. This allows it to be used offensively, whether to actually cut through armor or flesh, or to shock an enemy for pain or to unconsciousness.
Handguard: An angled phrik crossguard that reaches up the blade somewhat allows it to deflect other blades off of it, both to mess with an opponent and to also prevent disarming or damaging the saber.
Bifurcating_cyclical-ignition_pulse allows the weapon to function underwater.
Strengths:
-Works underwater
-Lava Crystal blade is more deadly than most others and also has a wider range of heat when used and “splashes” due to the unusual crystals.
-Crossguard deflects other blades off the handle.
-Pommel works much like an electrostaff weapon.
-Curved hilt allows for much more control and unusual styling.
Weaknesses:
-Handle is not protected by phrik and thus could in fact be damaged if not protected
-Heavier blade is both an advantage and a disadvantage, especially if exhausted, as it may take more difficulty to get moving and control it when it’s moving due to the inertia.
-When used underwater, it's spreading of heat and "splashing/dripping" is practically functionless, as the water can cool it off much quicker once it leaves the blade itself.
-An ungloved hand is actually in danger of having the splashing and dripping seriously hurt it, or the mere heat of the weapon.
DESCRIPTION
The GuardBreaker is actually Tasha’s second lightsaber, created after her return from slavery, Tasha came up with exactly the type of weapon she desired. Something that would give her an advantage against most other lightsaber wielders and a surprise to those unaware of its properties. She hunted down two Lava Crystals found on Mustafar in secret, which took almost three months to find and properly fit, put together phrik, steel, emitter, cross guard, electrified pommel, and everything together to create a weapon designed for her personally. It had it’s advantages and disadvantages, but she felt that it fit her style quite well and that she could always resort to other methods if necessary.
