Legendary Version: Forced Affix : Bleed on Hit "Makes the victim bleed ."
This weapon works similarly to the Shovel in its ability to return enemy projectiles, hence greatly increasing its own effective range.
This weapon is also able to reflect the player’s own bombs and other thrown projectiles, which will not activate its critical condition.
The bombs dropped from the Parting Gift can activate the critical ability.
The flavor text is a quote from Obi-Wan Kenobi in Star Wars - A New Hope and it references the fact that lightsabers from the Star Wars universe are also able to repel enemy projectiles.
These are among the four single-slot weapons that use 2 weapons in their attack in the game, the others being the Twin Daggers , Shrapnel Axes and the Machete and Pistol .
