The Thunderbolt is a powerful Bat and one of the very rare TENGOKU Weapons, as the blueprint may only be found there. The blueprint can be rarely obtained from silver chests throughout Tengoku, as well as any chests dropped by haters.

It may be available in the Bloodnium Exchange (as a weapon, not a blueprint) for 3000.

Blueprint Locations

• Thunderbolt
  • Can be found in TENGOKU in Silver Chests found from Haters or on the floor.

Notes

• The Bat's moveset is very similar to the hammer; it is extremely linear on its first two hits, allowing enemies to sidestep it easily, so beware when using it with lock on.
• The Surprise Squeeze, unlocked at Rank 10, is a melee attack parry. The timing on the parry is fairly late, so you have to be pre-emptive, failing to parry can result in a block depending on the timing, and sometimes even a successful parry wont recover fast enough to give you a counter attack. The parry can be broken through by attacks that are stronger than the Bat so beware when using it. Not recommended to use.
• Full Swing will knock enemies away, but the attack is slow, so it must be timed well to avoid being interrupted.
• The Rage Move, Two-Base Hit, is a jab with the bat followed by an overhead smash that knocks away. It's fairly quick and strong for a 1-cost rage move.
• This weapon has a 5% degradation rate.

Mastery Levels

Meijin Tip
		Heads Will Fly! A Bat Weapon? These can deal up to 3 consecutive strikes. If you up the Mastery Level and time your attack between the 2nd and 3rd strike, you can perform a full swing. They don't have as much reach as a regular 3rd strike, but they look cooler.
