Yoru (Dark Blade) in Haze Seas

Yoru Overview

Yoru (Dark Blade) is an S-tier exclusive weapon, the strongest for PvP pressure. Modeled after the world's strongest sword from One Piece, Yoru combines fast swing speed, excellent range, and devastating skills that make it the most sought-after weapon in Haze Seas. Its exclusivity and power make it a status symbol - players who wield Yoru command respect and fear in equal measure.

How to Get Yoru

Yoru is one of the hardest weapons to obtain in Haze Seas. There is no guaranteed method - all acquisition paths involve RNG or significant investment.

Method 1: Dark Blade Event

• Availability: Rare limited-time events (roughly once every 2-3 months)
• Requirements: Defeat the Dark Blade Master event boss
• Drop Rate: 2% chance per kill
• Details: The Dark Blade Master is a level 500+ boss that spawns during special events. He has multiple phases and requires a coordinated team to defeat. Even with a successful kill, the 2% drop rate means you may need dozens of attempts.

Method 2: Trading

• Cost: 3,000,000 - 5,000,000 Beli equivalent in trades
• Details: Yoru is one of the most expensive trade items. Players typically ask for S-tier fruits or multiple A-tier items in exchange. Use trusted middlemen for these high-value trades.

Method 3: Gamepass (Occasional)

• Cost: 1,500 Robux (when available)
• Availability: The Dark Blade gamepass appears in the shop approximately 3-4 times per year for 24-48 hour windows
• Details: This is the most reliable way to get Yoru, but it requires spending Robux. Join the Discord to get notifications when the gamepass goes live.

Move Set

M1 Combo (Basic Attacks)

Yoru's M1 combo consists of 4 slashes:

1. First Slash: Horizontal right-to-left (fast, 1,000 damage)
2. Second Slash: Horizontal left-to-right (fast, 1,100 damage)
3. Third Slash: Diagonal downward (medium speed, 1,200 damage)
4. Fourth Slash: Upward launching slash (slow but powerful, 1,500 damage)

The full M1 combo deals 4,800 damage and the 4th hit launches the target, enabling combo extensions. The 4th hit has the longest range due to the upward arc.

Skill 1: Dark Slash

• Damage: 2,400
• Cooldown: 8 seconds
• Range: 12 meters (projectile slash)
• Description: Fire a dark energy slash projectile forward. Dark Slash travels quickly and has a slight homing effect - it curves toward the nearest enemy within 3 meters of its path. On hit, the target is staggered for 0.5 seconds. This is your primary ranged poke and combo starter.

Skill 2: Dark Rush

• Damage: 600 per hit (5 hits) = 3,000 total
• Cooldown: 12 seconds
• Range: 8 meters (dash + multi-slash)
• Description: Dash forward while executing a rapid series of 5 slashes. Each slash deals damage independently, and the final hit has a slight knockback. Dark Rush is your gap closer and burst damage tool - the dash covers distance while the multi-hits deal heavy damage. Use it to engage or as a combo extension after M1 chains.

Skill 3: Yoru's Wrath

• Damage: 4,000
• Cooldown: 18 seconds
• Range: 6 meters (melee AoE)
• Description: Raise Yoru overhead and slam it down with devastating force, creating a dark energy shockwave. This is your strongest single skill and your combo finisher. The shockwave hits all enemies within 6 meters, making it effective in both 1v1 and group fights. The slam has super-armor during the downward swing.

Upgrade Path

Yoru does not have a traditional upgrade path - it is already the final form. However, you can enhance it through:

Haki Infusion

Once you unlock Armament Haki, you can infuse Yoru with Haki for +15% weapon damage and a black visual effect. This is a passive bonus that applies automatically once unlocked.

Enchantments

Yoru can receive weapon enchantments from the Enchanter NPC (Second Sea):

• Dark Flame Enchantment: Adds burn damage to each hit (200 per tick, ticks 3 times)
• Void Edge Enchantment: +10% armor penetration on all Yoru skills
• Swift Blade Enchantment: +8% attack speed on Yoru M1 combo

The Dark Flame enchantment is generally considered the best for PvP, while Void Edge is preferred for boss fights.
