Has a Passive Blood Loss Buildup

Raptor Talons' physical attacks cause blood loss to build up. Filling up the meter will inflict Hemorrhage to an enemy, dealing damage that is relative to their HP. It has fast attacks that can easily apply status effects and adding either Poison or Frostbite can complement the passive of this weapon. It also has two unique charged attacks, the first one is a forward slashing jump attack with long-range and the second performs a retreating backflip attack.

The talisman Lord of Blood's Exultation and headwear White Mask are good supplementary equipment that will increase the damage of your physical attacks when Hemorrhage is applied to either you or enemies.
