Description

An improved version of the sweeper, outfitted with spinning saw blades at the end of each arm.

Assess (Tips)

Delivering a certain amount of damage or destroying an arm knocks it down, making it more susceptible to staggering. However, when it recovers, it activates rampage mode and becomes very difficult to stagger.
