- Form 1 Design: A large Dahong Palay with a modified angled hilt integrating a lever-action repeater pistol. The blade is bolted between a pair of hardened steel plates containing routed channels designed to redirect Dust fired from the pistol; functioning as a sort of psuedo-barrel.

- Form 1 Aesthetics: A Dahong Palay with a 3’ blade. Cobalt blue cutting edge with visible scorch marks at even intervals along the blade. The blade is bolted between two plate-like extensions of the dark-gray frame which contain the channel-like barrels on their interior; and are ornately engraved on their exterior.

The grip features ebony paneling; with a cobalt blue trigger and lever.

- Dust Usage: Single-shot Dust cartridgesFire (primary load), Gravity, and Ice (secondary carry) - Ammunition: Cartridges resemble .40 S&W, sans bullet.

- Usage: Mandirigma is used exclusively for melee combat; designed to make use of Dust for empowered strikes without extensive training in proper control techniques. Cobalt is a highly adept duelist, combining careful swordplay to break his enemy’s guard and striking with boosted, brute-force attacks.
