- — In-Game Description
Raphael's Sai is a Melee Weapon in Fortnite: Battle Royale. It was introduced in Chapter 5: Season 1.
Functionality[]
Raphael's Sai are a hybrid of a close range hack-and-slash weapon and an air ambush weapon like the other Mythic TMNT weapons. They have a unique octagonal reticle (reminiscent of a turtle shell). When attacking and targeting an opponent in range, the reticle becomes red, the color of Raphael's headband.
Each Mythic TMNT weapon has a standard attack (fire) that can be held to string a chain of attacks together. Each hit deals different amounts of damage and thus the weapon does not have a consistent damage per second. They also possess an air dash (aim) that will allow the player to quickly launch themselves into the air a short distance. It can also be used on the ground. This dash also deals damage if it hits an opponent, but has a very small cooldown afterwards. While in the air, the player may use the standard attack to produce an air attack (a ground slam that deals heavy damage and knockback).
In addition, simply having this weapon as the active weapon grants the user a passive double jump. Using this gives the player fall damage immunity and a slight boost forward, but it can't be used again until the player touches the ground. This jump uses stamina even if the player isn't sprinting. For this reason, players must manage their stamina carefully, as if they are caught in midair without enough stamina to double jump, they will take fall damage as normal and potentially eliminate themselves.
The weapon has three charges that slowly refill over time similarly to the Grapple Blade. Using an air dash or air attack expends a charge. Each charge takes 10 seconds to refill.
Stats[]
- Holding the standard attack unleashes a combo that consists of a barrage of quick attacks. Across all four weapons, each normal hit does 15 damage with some sort of finishing move that does a larger amount of damage and also has a wider area of effect. The combo can do around 200 damage total.
- The air dash does 85 damage if an opponent is hit.
- The air attack (ground slam) does 70 damage and inflicts knockback.
Raphael's Combo[]
Raphael's standard attack combo consists of a quick double swipe, cross slash, diagonal up-right slash, second cross slash, and finally a two-handed overhead strike with the kunai.
Obtaining[]
- When there are roughly 50 players remaining, four special TMNT Supply Drops will drop at random points on the map. Each balloon will look like a Ninja Turtle and will have that turtle's corresponding weapon inside, a Pizza Party, and another healing item.
- A random Mythic TMNT weapon can be found in special Vending Machines scattered across the map. Each machine only contains one, so you may not have the opportunity to get one if someone has used the machine first. They cost 300 Bars. These machines are at:
- There is an very small chance of finding one in a Chest.
Strategy Guide[]
- Each slash of the standard attack gives the player a bit of momentum towards the reticle, so the combo can actually move the player forward quite some distance. This can be used to catch a retreating player or to "dance" around the target to make it harder to be attacked back.
- Hitting an opponent blocking with a Ballistic Shield with the air dash attack instantly breaks their guard. Use this to quickly eliminate an overly defensive player.
- The Mythic TMNT weapons and the Grapple Blade are very similar in form and function. Both weapons:
- Give the player an additional movement option (the TMNT weapons have the air dash and the Grapple Blade grapples to surfaces).
- Have different attacks depending on whether the player is grounded or in the air.
- Have an attack that inflicts knockback.
- Have an attack that can instantly break a Ballistic Shield's guard.
