The blazefire gunblade is a high-tech weapon researched by the Defenders of Man at General Carolina Davis's compound on Vardona. It is an unconventional weapon which fires bullets in addition to having a long swordlike blade, designed with the principle that one weapon can serve multiple purposes. The unwieldiness of the blade meant that it could only be used by the most accomplished martial artists.[1]
Gameplay[]
When equipped, Nova uses a ranged attack against air units and a melee attack against ground units.
In order to obtain the weapon, the player will need to teleport or jump to the ledge behind the area were the special ordinance upgrade is found. Then, they can teleport past the pit blocking the way and follow the path.
Versatile melee and ranged weapon. Attacks deal area damage. Can use Fury of One to execute multiple attacks against enemies in a large target area. Can attack ground and air units.

Notes[]
- The sword is a reference to the Blazefire Saber, a gunblade that appeared in Final Fantasy XIII. Its ability is a reference to "Army of One", the signature attack of Lightning, wielder of the Blazefire Saber; in Final Fantasy XIII, Army of One dealt eleven hits to a target.
- The sword's appearance also resembles the gunblade used by Squall Leonhart in Final Fantasy VIII.
