Edgewind is a mono-edge duelist blade favored by Ayesha Aamir. It is known for clean, low-drag cuts and precise balance suited to counterplay along the Neon Causeway and runs across Vanta Bay. The weapon appears often alongside the reactive jacket Pulse Weave.
Description
A slim, single-bevel sword with a reinforced spine and monomolecular cutting face. The tang nests in a carbon grip with microtexture for wet-weather control. A low-profile scabbard mounts horizontally for quick draws. The blade hums faintly when aligned, a cue used by Ayesha Aamir to time ripostes in street duels around the Chrome Arc.
Type / Category
- Category: melee weapon
- Class: precision saber / mono-edge
- Role: counterattacks, close-quarters control, single-target pressure
Stats / Effects
- Damage profile: high slice, low crush; excels on exposed gaps.
- Crit window: extended after perfect parry or feint cancel.
- On-guard passive: minor vibration feedback to indicate edge alignment.
- Draw speed: very fast from horizontal scabbard mount.
- Durability: edge retains sharpness; requires solvent baths, not stones.
- Noise: extremely quiet on air cuts; audible ping on spine contacts.
Usage / Crafting / Requirements
- Requirements: finesse training; stable wrist; familiarity with mono-edge maintenance solvents.
- Best paired with Pulse Weave to mitigate glancing shots during counter setups.
- Recommended techniques: riposte chains, sliding parries, short-hop repositioning common to Rogue-Duelists like Ayesha Aamir.
- Maintenance: rinse in neutral solvent after contact with composites; avoid ceramic blocks; inspect spine microfasteners every 10 bouts.
- Crafting: composite spine laminated under vacuum; edge grown via controlled deposition, then sealed with inert film. Replacement edges are possible but costly.
Lore / Background
- Street provenance ties Edgewind to duel culture in the Chrome Arc, where fast settlements are preferred over crew escalation.
- Sighted in matches along the Neon Causeway and during bayfront hunts near Vanta Bay.
- Notable appearances include the settlement bout preceding the clash with Rook Vega and contract runs against a roaming Shade Wraith.
