So I guess that new whip sword will replace his usual giant sword like the guns replaced his dual blades. Surprised they didn't just go ahead and give him some ridiculous morphed up Scythe too. They're saving that for the next remake they'll do in another decade I guess.
O.o What? Dual guns don't replace his twin blades. They serve different purposes in his arsenal. As I recall, the way I normally played in Xth form was Dual Guns my primary weapon as it had the highest DPS, then when I Rengeki against an enemy I skill trigger to a different weapon depending on the enemy (twin blades for aerial, great sword for armor, and scythe for anything else(?)), and then use Double Trigger as a f you to the enemy to swap back to Dual Guns and continue filling them full of clips.
I am very curious as to how the whip sword will fit in to this dynamic as Double Trigger really made Xth form work really well. Without something similar, the whip sword will be underwhelming, but if the whip sword has a Double Trigger equivalent then Dual Guns lose their niche. I suppose it could be meant to replace the scythe since it seems like it is a wide range attack like the scythe (and not an anti-armor weapon like the great sword), but that would be weird to me since Haseo's Lost Weapon is a scythe.
