So why is the Hanzo weapon getting a special Bonus upgrade?

Topic? If you scroll down a little further, you will see it will get bonus dmg when using a PA...

But why the Hanzo? Is it because poster boy Ethan Weber uses it?

There was a big discussion about this a the PSU General.

Obviously its because its Hanzo.......that name alone is win.

But srsly tho, don't kno why its getting a boost. But I gotta see how big the boost is before I decide on investing on some.

Hanzo is an amazing name, of course. Anything with that name is worth boosting.

Maybe Sega realized that they meant to name the 9* sword Hanzo rather than Caliburn? I dunno >.>

Hanzo is outclassed quite badly by all the other A-rank swords... worse than usual even when it comes to a weak-brand / lowest-rank model. Jogiri has higher-rank stats, of course, but also procs poison. PP aside (and swords can charge up pretty quickly) Tenora sword models have offensive stats almost 2 ranks higher than GRM.

On the other hand it wouldn't take a big % bonus on total ATP to make Hanzo the leading sword for PA damage, especially for AOI Fortefighters. On the other hand it doesn't fix the ATA disadvantage, which you'll really notice with Gravity Break lol.
