==Grimoire description==
The '''Shock Blade''' is an edged weapon infused with [[Arc]] energy commonly wielded by high ranking [[Fallen]].
''These full-length edged weapons gather Arc energy from a system of shock cores and charging caps in the hilt, converting the entire length of the blade into a plasma cutting torch.''

==Gameplay==
The Shock Blade is a deadly melee weapon wielded in pairs. They can often be found in the hands of [[Captain]]s, who will use their resilience and teleporting abilities to get into close combat range of foes, and corner them with quick, lethal slices. Many [[Stealth Vandal]]s and [[Marauder]]s wield these weapons as well, and use their invisibility to flank and simultaneously jump on targets in a group.
 
The [[Taken]] also have their own version. The weapon works the same, even retaining the Arc damage type. It is only found in the hands of [[Taken Captain]]s, who use their darkness bolt to blind the enemy, then run into melee range to attack their disoriented foes.
