Weapons

An Okami has specific weapons that it is only allowed to use, these are Reflectors, Rosaries, and Glaives.

An Okami is able to equip two of these at a time, one for a Main Weapon, and the other for a Sub Weapon.

Depending on whether the weapon is equipped in the Main slot or Sub slot effects how the weapon would act.

There are numbers of combinations, such as a Reflector for your Main, and a Rosary for your Sub. You could even have a Rosary in your Main and a different Rosary in your Sub.

However, on an Okami's turn, they must choose whether to use their Main Weapon's action, or their Sub Weapon's Action. An Okami may not use both a Main and Sub action on the same turn.

The Legendary Weapon perks gained at lvl 13, 16, and 19 allow you to pick which Legendary Weapon you want, such as if you wanted the Legendary Reflector at level 13, and the Legendary Glaive at level 19, but wanted the Legendary Rosary at lvl 16. An Okami may decide what level they gain the specific Legendary Weapon.

An Okami may not make any Brush Techniques if they choose to use a Reflector as their Sub action. Any targets she successfully blocks with take Reflector Damage and be pushed back 5ft.

An Okami can choose to charge their Reflector for a turn (If it's in her main) and on her next turn will deal double Reflector Damage to any targets in front of her (Including anyone in her attack of opportunity areas). She may do this once every three turns.
