Sickle

The sickle is a new cutting weapon introduced in Monster Hunter Forward.

Weapon Overview
The sickle is basically the same in fighting style with long swords but also very different.It is shorter than the long sword and it has no spirit bar and no spirit combo attack but it is faster and has a very unique ability.This ability is the following:when you hit a monster several times you get "hooked" to the monster and after being hooked to the monster you can either directly mount the monster or you can stay hooked to the monster making you more vulnerable to attacks but you also get a power boost and the part you are hooked to breaks. You can unsheath this weapon while climbing.There is an attack where you jump when climbing (your weapon must be sheathed) and unsheath your weapon and directly get "hooked" to any monster this attack hits.Like the long sword, it has a sheathe.When you unsheath it while climbing you become faster and can attack monsters while climbing and if you hit the wall by an attack,you can perform a very high jump that helps you climb. This Weapon can perform stun damage by an attack where you hit with the handle of the sickle
