Jin Gou (Timeless)

The Jin Gou is an epic weapon from the game Timeless found in Terracotta Mausoleum. It is a very short saber able to deliver blows but requiring a good quantity of strength

Appearance and origins
It has a very short handle, about 50-60 centimeters long, without any guard and a large curved bronze blade. It is based on the eponymous weapon found in the Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum, sometimes referred as a scimitar ; due to the lack of informations, its behavior and uses were inspired from the classic scimitars and the chinese daos

Attack patterns
It uses large swings, requiring a good amount of strength in the arms. It can also use a large attack from up to down, usually cutting down even zombie skulls

Strategies
Albeit similar to a simple scimitar rip-off, this weapon is quite slow but really useful, serving the role of a small but heavy saber. The best tactic with it is to first taunt the enemies, mostly zombies like Terracotta Archers, to get them near and suddenly slice them in two attacks. However, it can be hard to maneuver, because dealing a lot of damage with it require using a heck ton of stamina, and usually take at least 2 seconds between each strike. Try to keep it for small groups, or single but bulky enemies, but don't use it against Crossbow Zombies, as their arrows are very difficult to block with your saber, or zombies equipped with swords or polearms, as they will always have a better range than you

Trivia

 * Its was originally supposed to be called "Bronze Dao"
