Chop Rune
Location
The chop rune can be found in the Teal-Green Grass (starting) area by returning to the bridge just before the second boss, Jin, after the prologue. It is guarded by the boss Berserker.
Properties
Equipping the chop rune causes Shin to attack with his paws instead of his sword. This deals half the damage of his sword for 0.5 damage, but allows him to attack many times per second. Gaining the Triple Slash upgrade adds an extra hit with each button press while using the chop rune, doubling its damage potential. Upslash and downslash are not affected by the chop rune.
