History

A Tribal Design Blade in The Legend Reborn

Fero's Blades

Fero found one of these blades in an abandoned arena[1] and wielded it until it was broken by Kiina.[2] He later acquired another one.[3]

Atakus' Blades

Two glowing Skrall Tribal Design Blades were created by the Great Beings using prototype technology.[4] The blades were found in a weapons cache near what the Skrall believed to be a baterra encampment.[5] Atakus obtained the blades due to his communication with Velika.[6] He wields the blades with great pride, as no one on Bara Magna knew how to replicate the technology.[5]

Example Usage

In "Sands of Bara Magna", a Skrall used his hand-held Blade to tear through Gresh's Jungle Shield, knocking him down and winning the match.
