<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:11pt;margin-bottom:11pt;"> - Form 1 Design: Greatsword with two-handed grip. This also is used as the storage form. The blade is straight, and squared off at the edge. There is a shroud covering the dull edge, and the pommel is an inverted triangle shape. The trigger of the gauss cannon is flush with the hilt, and does not function in this mode.

The handle folds out, and the grip swings down. The pommel serves as a small buttstock. The magazine for the gauss cannon is located in the crossguard, and the capacitors, which are removeable, are located in the top of the weapon.

The rangefinder has a display on the back showing distance to target in meters. The blade is dark gray, and the hilt and grip are also gray, although they are a lighter shade.

Bolts can also be cased in gravity dust to increase force of impact. Both kinds of magazines can hold 7 rounds. Rounds rapidly accelerate out of the barrel and deal heavy damage upon impact, while even penetrating armor. A single shot is powerful enough to make a significant dent in the armor of a Bullhead, even creating a small hole.

However, he will use it to provide sniper support or if he needs a heavier weapon to fight larger opponents. The gauss cannon takes some time between shots to recharge the coils, so the wielder generally uses the sword form. His semblance, Blink, is teleportation. It allows him to change poses while Blinking, and he can even give his limbs momentum as if he moved them normally. This allows him to rapidly Blink around his target while continuously slashing. However, the weight of Umbra combined with the physical strain of rapid teleportation prevents him from doing this often.
