Synergies

• Works well with Grappling Hook to pull enemies towards the player and crit on them easily.
• The Combo mutation can be very effective due to the low damage but very fast attack pattern, which lets you amass very big combo numbers.
• The Melee mutation can be very helpful with Panchaku because with its high attack speed it can freeze enemies faster than normal weapons.

Trivia

• The Panchaku appears in the animated trailer for The Bad Seed DLC.
• Panchaku was added after repeated requests for it from fans.
• The flavor text references Fist of Fury, a 1972 martial arts film starring Bruce Lee which features extensive use of the nunchaku.
