The Heights of Judgement

==/// SUMMARY==
The Heights of Judgement is a summoner weapon that summons the SFOTH swords, each with their own unique abilities. It is unlocked at Wave 21 and costs 15,000 Cash.
==/// MECHANICS==
The Heights of Judgement will summon one of the SFOTH swords as a minion when used with [LMB]. Their statistics, quirks, and special abilities are all different from one another. The sword summoned is random, and the user may only have one sword of each type. At full potential, the user can have eight different swords summoned. 
When attacking, The Heights of Judgement's minions will all unleash a crescent slash towards enemies. This predicts their target's movement, and the crescent slash will additionally pierce enemies. These projectiles have a limited range and vary between the minions, and will dissipate after some time if the user isn't manually targetting an enemy. Notably, the minions' attacking range is dependent on the user's damage statistics. Manually targetting enemies will however grant them infinite range. However, damage, the debuff or effect duration of the arcs are reduced the longer they travel (100% > 0).
None of the minions feature damage diversity when attacking. This weapon and its minions can only contribute 50% of its damage to enemies, resulting in half rewards upon fully killing an enemy.

==/// STRATEGY== 
#Unlike most other Summoner weapons, The Heights of Judgement can be of great use against NF-2401's Armochyre structure due to its ability to debuff and deal rapid damage. However, some swords from The Heights of Judgement will slightly heal Armochyre.
#The Heights of Judgement is extremely useful against spirit- and/or elemental-type enemies, especially after Wave 30.
#It is recommended to use the First Person camera mode while using a cursor-location based weapon combined with this weapon, as the floating swords are very likely to block your shots.
# The Heights of Judgement's minion attack range is based on your damage stat and will increase with damage buffs received from effects. Do also remember that enemies can be manually targetted to provide infinite range.
# The user's Effect Duration also affects the duration of the debuffs from Ghostwalker and Darkheart.
==/// TRIVIA== 
#The Heights of Judgement functioned similarly to Soul Blade at time of release, which is the reason why it's considered a Soul Blade variation.
#The name The Heights of Judgement is a nod to Sword Fights of the Heights.
#The Linked Sword minion deals x1.3 damage rather than x1.15 when the user only has one other SFOTH sword summoned alongside it. Every sword summoned afterwards correctly adds +15% damage.
