Tarnished Sword

is a Special Alt Form Battler unlocked by leveling up to level 10. He gains increased stats and attacks faster the more arms he loses. At 40% of his original health, he becomes enraged, moving and attacking much faster. However, he now gains a massive increase to his cost and cooldown.
==Character==
 is now the size of and has many black swords impaled throughout his body. He has four mutilated arms each holding a sword and will lose an arm each time he loses around 20% of his health. Upon losing 3 of his arms, he'll go into berserk mode, giving himself a massive speed and firerate boost. 
===Accessories=== 
*Face: Red Glowing Eyes (Recolored to black for his first phase, then gradually becomes more red in his other phases.)
*Shirt: Blood REUPLOAD (Darkened)
*Pants: blood (Darkened)
*Stabbed / Impaled Sword: Stage Prop / Linked Sword (Recolored fully black / dark red, detextured)
*Gear: Darkheart
==Usage==
 
 still maintains his role as a Generalist as his stats are enough for him to generally perform well in many situations. The most notable stats however is his attack rate and damage as it allows him to quickly dish out ludicrously high amounts of DPS, allowing to take down tanky enemies with ease and can probably even clear out waves of enemies if they aren't spawning to the point they can easily overwhelm . In addition, his attack rate increases every time he loses an arm.
Also, like the other Tarnished Battlers, has a massive health pool, allowing him to tank dangerous attacks from enemies like .
Of course, isn't without weaknesses. The most notable being his recharge and cost. costs a whopping $4000 on a single star alone, making him barely affordable or straight-up impossible to deploy in higher stars. Alongside this, 's base recharge is 400 seconds or 6 minutes and 40 seconds. This means that if dies for whatever reason, you'll have to wait a long time to deploy him again which at that point you may already completed whatever stage you're in.
Overall, is one of the best generalists and tanks in the game if you can work around his weaknesses, as his damage output is more than sufficient to handle lots of threats and his massive health pool lets him soak up many hits.
===Strengths===
*Has ridiculously high health.
*Can dish out extremely high single-target DPS. 
**This is best seen in his rage mode, dealing around 1,160 DPS at level 25, which is close to a 's damage per shot.
*Phase transitions let him tank at least 3 hard-hitting attacks.
* Immune to several negative effects.
*Attacks faster the more arms he loses. 
**Berserk mode gives him a massive boost to both attack rate and walkspeed.
* Anti-Red. 
**This is not as useful as you unlock him after Chapter 2, however, more red-traited enemies are bound to get added.
===Weaknesses===
* Obtaining is impossible as of Booster Pack 3.
*His berserk mode triggers at only 40% of ’s HP, which is relatively low. 
**However, this is still a staggering 4640 HP on level 25.
*His single-target, making him somewhat weak against dense groups of enemies.
*Has slow walkspeed, somewhat similar to 's speed.
**His berserk mode somewhat negates this weakness.
*Is not immune to Hyperlaser or being converted/sold by and .
*He is currently the most expensive unit in the game by costing $4000 on 1 star, making him less viable on higher stars. 
**The extremely high price means you will have to heavily upgrade your bank just to deploy it. It's definitely worth it on the right stages, however.
*Has the second longest base cooldown in the game, lasting 400 seconds or 6 minutes and 40 seconds.
