Like every good anime hero, Undyne needs a sword, and it must be historically accurate (aka corresponding to anime tropes)! Which is to say, at least as big as its wielder, preferably larger. Undyne's train of thought? "Go big or go home." As a result, her anime-sized sword is two and a half times as long as herself. She would have gone for twice as long if the sword didn't become overly unwieldy as a result.

The weapon that Undyne named "Taitan" (meaning "Titan" and pronounced the same way) is a true anime-sized sword with a straight blade of 3,90m plus a hilt of 35cm, for a total length of 4,25m. The handle has a basic guard to protect the wielder's hands and offers good grip, which is more than necessary considering the unwieldiness of it. A flame pattern on the hilt provides some simple decoration, but the blade itself is blank, massive steel. While its exact weight is unknown, considering that its blade is pure steel as thick as ~5cm at the center, one can guess that it's heavy as hell.
The size and weight translates into a weapon that wields like a steel beam - in other words, atrociously. It relies on momentum and going with the 'flow' over swift fencing-style combat. Undyne always needs a little time to swing it, making it a very predictable weapon, which is one of its three weaknesses. The second is that it's very tiring to use: five or six swings would leave Undyne breathing heavily. The third is that it must be used with both hands for anything besides carrying it (Undyne can do that with one hand), thus keeping Undyne from wielding it in conjunction with other moves that require her hands.
Its strengths are a great attack range, rivaling that of spears and staff weapons, and its weight. While of course it can be blocked or deflected, its momentum carries into the force of the attack.
Taitan can be used for stabbing and slashing, though considering its dimensions, stabbing is unlikely to ever be practical.
Undyne can make it appear into her hand or draw it out of a sheath that's far too small on the outside, for added anime effect. Either method takes ~3 seconds before the sword is drawn and usable.


I'm not sure if this move would also require Ranged Proficiency and/or Area attack? Please advise Big Grin


Also, the following Power-Up please:

Undyne the Undying (T1 Power-Up - 1000)

"You're gonna have to try a little harder than that."
Originally Undyne's resolve to stop the rampaging human from destroying the entire world, her Undying form activated as her Determination kept her from death and reformed her. Now in the Omniverse, she is able to activate it at will, but needs an enormous amount of energy to keep that very Determination from destroying her.
If she transforms, those who made her do it should fear for their lives: it is the point where Undyne ends the time for talk and sets every bit of her mind on striking down her opponent.
Along with the radical changes to her appearance and armor, a bright light shines from her left eye and her voice sounds as if two people spoke at the same time.
Note: If Undyne is in her non-armored form, she does not gain armor upon transformation. Only her body's appearance shifts.
