Chainsaw (ability)

Chainsaw ( or ), also known as Chain Saw and Spinning Saw, is a recurring ability in the Final Fantasy series. It is most often associated with Edgar and the Machinist job.
==Appearances==
===Final Fantasy VI===
Chainsaw is an ability usable by Edgar once the Chainsaw item has been obtained and is in the player's inventory. It deals physical damage to one opponent with an attack power of 252, is unblockable, and ignores defense. It has 25% chance of inflicting death instead of dealing damage and works against undead enemies, but fails on targets immune to death. The death attack is considered a magical attack.
When the Chainsaw's Death attack is used, Edgar and Gogo don a hockey goalie's mask in similar fashion to Jason Voorhees from Friday the 13th.
===Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII-===
Spinning Saw is an enemy ability used by Chain Machine and Cutter Machine. It inflicts 4 hits of non-elemental physical damage and Stun for 2 seconds to Zack.

== Etymology==
A chainsaw or chain saw is a portable, mechanical saw powered by electricity, compressed air, hydraulic power, or most commonly a gasoline two-stroke engine.
While localized as Chainsaw, the ability's Japanese name sometimes translates to spinning saw, and it is often as a circular saw rather than a chainsaw.
