Chain Whip

Chain Whip is a recurring weapon in the series. It is often the second weakest whip in the games it appears in, and usually has no special function. Oftentimes, it is long-ranged, meaning characters equipped with it can attack for full damage even from the back row, and is often a weapon of choice for Beastmasters and sometimes Summoners.

== Etymology ==
The chain whip is a weapon used in some Asian martial arts, particularly traditional Chinese disciplines, in addition to modern and traditional wushu. It consists of several metal rods, which are joined end-to-end by rings to form a flexible chain. Generally, the whip has a handle at one end and a metal dart, used for slashing or piercing an opponent, at the other. A cloth flag is often attached at or near the dart end of the whip and a second flag may cover the whip's handle.
