Darkheart

darkheart is a melee item in item asylum. It is a jet black sword that emits black particles.
==Functionality==
Equipping darkheart causes the sword to be drawn with an ominous sound.
Using darkheart causes the user to swing the sword in front of them. Each swing deals 27.5 damage and heals the user for 50% of the damage dealt. Any time darkheart is swung, a black trail will follow its blade. darkheart has a minimal cooldown between swings. It also has two abilities:
* Dash (E)The user will wind up an attack, drawing the sword back and pointing it in front of them. After a short delay, they will dash a moderate distance in the direction they face. Opponents struck by the sword receive 45 damage and are stunned. This also heals the user for 100% of the damage they deal. The user is intangible during use. Dash goes on a 5 second cooldown at the end of the dash.
* Tornado (R)The user will pull their sword back and adopt a defensive stance. After a short wind up, they will obscure themselves in a mass of black particles and spin rapidly. In this state, they will rapidly damage opponents around them, each instance dealing 8 damage up to 11 total hits. The user will be healed for the same amount of damage dealt by the ability. Becoming ragdolled or stunned while using Tornado instantly ends it. After the ability ends, the user will be briefly stunned and Tornado will go on a 15 second cooldown.
Victims killed by any of darkheart's attacks will have all their body parts turn completely black and disperse across a flat plane in random directions and velocities.
==Tips==
*Darkheart's high damage and healing make it a powerful weapon. Its sustain allows for the upper hand in survival in a fight, and is further backed by its high damage that can quickly overwhelm opponents.
*Avoid engaging players with items that inflict status effects such as ragdoll or freeze. Although darkheart can typically hold out against opponents more efficiently than most items, it is less effective against items that stun.
*Tornado and Dash are useful to escape unfavorable situations thanks to their mobility.
