    • In Update v20.10, Huntmaster Saber's TBD Boss Outfit received a new style, Order. This would be used for IO Hunter.
    • IO Hunter's codename also plays off Huntmaster Saber's as it is "Thunder Kitty" or "Thunder Meow Light".
  • Huntmaster Saber is immune to fall damage. This is likely to prevent him from accidentally dying by falling off the IO Airship he was patrolling in before being relocated to The Collider.
  • Huntmaster Saber's Scratch Spin ability is similar to Wolverine's Spin Slash. However, it deals slightly more damage.
  • When breaking obstacles, Huntmaster Saber wields the Adamantium Claws. A Harvesting Tool exclusive to Wolverine.

Trivia[]

  • IO Hunter’s codenames were "Thunder Meow Light" and "Thunder Kitty".
    • This plays off Huntmaster Saber's Boss codename which was "Thunder Meow".
  • It was possible to prevent IO Hunter from spawning by quickly eliminating the retreating IO Forces before Stage 3 started.
  • IO Hunter's appearance is an inverted recolor of Huntmaster Saber. Likely indicating he is a disciple trained by him.
  • IO Hunter reuses Huntmaster Saber's voicelines in combat.
  • Just like Huntmaster Saber, he:
    • Wields the Adamantium Claws when breaking obstacles. A Harvesting Tool exclusive to Wolverine.
    • Uses the standard Chapter 3 Boss music despite having another unique track.
      • Though in the setting he is found it, an argument can be made that its more appropriate than Huntmaster Saber's Boss track.
