{{Sword|rare|Twin Blaze}} is a rare [[Double Sabers|double saber]]. It is notable for having {{Gifoie}} (cast at a random level between 1-10) as its special attack. This makes Twin Blaze the only way for androids to use {{Gifoie|N}}.

Despite being weak in range and damage, Twin Blaze's special attack is useful for multiple reasons:
* Interrupting certain [[Enemies|enemies']] attacks (e.g. {{Note|only their spawn-in charges can be stopped; subsequent charges after they have spawned will ignore the special|initial}} [[Dorphon]]/[[Delbiter]] charges, [[Zu]] dives, etc);
* Androids can detonate their own [[Traps|traps]] by using the special attack immediately before using one;
* Splitting [[Pofuilly Slime|Pofuilly Slimes]] can easily be done by using the special attack as the 3rd attack of a combo, as the special attack will not deal enough damage to kill them too early;
* It uses the special attack animation instead of a regular cast animation, and it is possible to perform a full combo of special attacks. This is significantly faster than casting {{Gifoie|n}} in the normal way, especially with {{Unit|rare|Heavenly/Battle}} or {{Unit|rare|V101}} equipped.
The origin of the special attack {{Gifoie|n}} is the tip of the blade rather than the caster. Therefore the spell area will be a few units out from the character, at different angles depending on the class animation and combo step.

The special attack {{Gifoie|n}} is affected by relevant technique boosts, such as {{Shield|rare|Gifoie Merge}}, but it can not have its technique level raised by {{Unit|rare|Heavenly/Technique}} or other similar units.

While Twin Blaze is equipped, one [[HP]] will be drained every three seconds while moving.

{{Cane|rare|Mercurius Rod}} is a rare [[Rods|rod]]. It offers the highest weapon-based {{Grants}} boost in the game, and casts level 2 {{Gifoie}} as its special attack.

Despite being weak in range and damage, Mercurius Rod's special attack is useful for multiple reasons:
* Interrupting certain [[Enemies|enemies']] attacks (e.g. {{Note|only their spawn-in charges can be stopped; subsequent charges after they have spawned will ignore the special|initial}} [[Dorphon]]/[[Delbiter]] charges, [[Zu]] dives, etc);
* Splitting [[Pofuilly Slime|Pofuilly Slimes]] can easily be done by using the special attack as the 3rd attack of a combo, as the special attack will not deal enough damage to kill them too early.
* It uses the special attack animation instead of a regular cast animation, and it is possible to perform a full combo of special attacks. This is significantly faster than casting {{Gifoie|n}} in the normal way, especially with {{Unit|rare|Heavenly/Battle}} or {{Unit|rare|V101}} equipped.
The origin of the special attack {{Gifoie|n}} is the tip of the rod rather than the caster. Due to the weapon's size, the spell area will be several units out from the character, at different angles depending on the class animation and combo step.

The special attack {{Gifoie|n}} is affected by relevant technique boosts, such as {{Shield|rare|Gifoie Merge}} and [[Techniques#Class-based boosts|Class-based Boosts]], but it can not have its technique level raised by {{Unit|rare|Heavenly/Technique}} or other similar units.
