Claw Weapon Family: Difference between revisions

'''Claws''' are a recurring type of weapon in the series and have appeared in practically every installment in the series since their introduction. They are favored by [[martial artist]]s and other barehanded brawlers since conventional weapons do not suit them. Due to their somewhat primitive designs, claws are also wielded by characters who are closer to nature and even monster companions. Claws are also used by some enemy monsters, such as [[Riptide]]s and [[Claws]], discounting those with natural blades such as nearly every dragon.

Some notable claws throughout the series are the [[Golden claws]], the [[Cobra claw]], and the [[Orichalcum claws]].

Both [[Jade]] and [[Rab]] can equip claws. Claws are wielded in both hands, so the user will be able to attack twice but is unable to use a shield when using them. They have an innate damage bonus to [[Machine family|Machines]]. When compared to most weapons classes, claws have lower attack power, but have a greater chance to land a [[Critical Hit]].
