Most blades, like katanas and sabres, use their curvature to "slide" off the target, increasing the amount of cut damage. The reverse curvature of a Moon Cleaver does the opposite, catching limbs and necks, keeping the force of the blow driving inwards.

The Moon Cleaver is an unusual weapon, it is uniquely shaped unlike any other weapon. It is the preferred weapon of the Cannibal Grand Wizard, Blackshifters, and the Preacher Cult.

The Meitou-grade version of the weapon can be found on The Preacher in the Cult Village.

This weapon has inventory dimensions of 2x9, meaning it can only be equipped as a primary weapon.
