Leviathan

Lore & Background

Its design reflects the duality of its user: precise ranged destruction followed by visceral close-quarters combat. The weapon is often depicted with intricate mechanical details and glowing red accents that pulse when active. It stands as a symbol of Lady's resilience, proving she does not need to rely solely on firearms or swords but can master a unique hybrid tool.

In Their Own Story

The warehouse air smelled of ozone and burnt steel. Lady crouched atop the crumbling concrete pillar, the Leviathan resting across her shoulders like a heavy cloak. Below, demons swarmed in the shadows, their eyes glowing with malice. She exhaled slowly, gripping the weapon's handle as it hummed to life. With a sharp twist of her wrist, the cannon barrel retracted and unfolded into jagged, rotating blades.

The Leviathan operates through two distinct modes: Cannon Mode and Chainsaw Mode. In Cannon Mode, Lady fires high-explosive rockets capable of piercing armor and launching enemies into the air. Switching to Chainsaw Mode transforms the barrel into a massive spinning blade for melee attacks. This allows for rapid slashes, heavy slams, and aerial combos that deal significant damage at close range. Activating Devil Trigger enhances both modes, increasing fire rate and blade speed while adding elemental properties to her attacks.
