STRENGTHS
Come get me, Jedi!: This Energy Foil can make the claim of being extremely hard to break to ordinary Lightsaber blades, due to the mechanisms inside it that channel the energy from contact with the lightsaber and reinforces the beam strength (Note, this never weakens the Lightsaber) of the sword. Any Jedi or Sith fighting someone armed with this should be wary, as the blade would have to be hit literally thousands of times before it failed. Electrical Capacitance tech also ensures it can withstand quite a few blasts of lightning.
Cutter: Possesses the power of a Vibrosword fitted with a level three Vibration Cell, enabling it to easily cut through standard, conventional armors
Survival tool: Has Solar Cells that allow it to recharge an internal battery in seven minutes for up to two hours of continued use (Battery can other wise be swapped out for another fresh one, or wirelessly recharged by setting in in extremely close proximity next to a power device).
Rugged: Built to operate in hostile weather, even acidic environments, is hard to break, and easy to repair
Long Reach: It's long reach potentially allows it's owner to keep opponents at a distance.
Swift: It's thin blade, despite having the weight of a sword, has the weight of a lightweight sword, allowing for faster attacks than with previous models of energy sword.
WEAKNESSES
Projectiles: Due to the thinness of its blade it is incapable of protecting against any sort of projectile
Not a true Lightsaber: It's blade is flat, albeit double edged, and thus lacks a lightsaber's omni directional cutting ability. It also has weight to the blade when active, meaning it cannot be used as freely as a real Lightsaber could. Also it's not possible for it to operate underwater. It is incapable of melting through doors just by shoving it in. It possesses only the cutting power of a high quality Vibro Sword and no higher than that
Power duelists: The strength of the energy blade may allow it to withstand a Lightsaber to an extraordinary degree, but it's small hilt size and thinness of the blade make it both unable to execute and vulnerable to power attacks, forcing the user to rely on evasion and precision if forced to confront a large, more powerful opponent. Also, it's the type of sword best used for singular opponents.
Aggro: Carrying the blade marks one as a member of House Io, and brings with it the attention of dangerous enemies.
DESCRIPTION
A special type of energy blade created by the House exclusively for it's fencers, The Type 5 is the Rapier of the collection, giving duelists who want to use finesse and strategy a great option for weapons. It's long reach and precision allows for swift assaults but it's not meant for anything but personal duels ultimately. While nothing restricts it from mass production, due to its specialized nature and high learning curve, it's usually a made to order affair, leading to it being less seen among House Citizens. For those who are able to master it, however, the path to being a truly fearsome duelist, even against opponents with actual Lightsaber blades, is a path with a strong chance of being realized.
