Slicers are single-handed striking weapons which attack by firing photon blades at their targets. These blades offer medium range and will home in on any enemies or targets within a 120° horizontal cone in front of you. They also have a wide vertical range, allowing you to hit flying enemies. Though they attack with projectiles, slicers are classified as striking weapons, and thus recover PP through the use of normal attacks.
