Newly introduced in the Armory, the talon is described as follows:
A talon is a stylized weapon with a fitted grip and a curved, serrated blade. It can be used as a slashing weapon without activating the battery. When powered, the talon converts energy into acid that can melt through certain types of armor (though the weapon always targets a foe’s KAC). Shirrens favor talons, and some consider them to be holy weapons of Hylax, referring to them as the queen’s talons. Increasingly advanced models of the weapon are often named after roles of some hivedwelling species, beginning with drone, and advancing through warrior, knight, queen, and god.
I'm a little curious as to what exactly this looks like in practice: Is it basically a kind of sword, curved like a scimitar? Or is it curved the other way, like a sickle or a karambit? How long is it? Or is it a claw-like weapon, similar to the bagh nakh/tiger's claw? Just what am I looking at here?
If I wanna play a cool shirren divine warrior of Hylax, I want to know I'm describing their equally cool weapon properly!
Well, by definition, a talon is a downward-curving claw, so... sickle-shaped I guess?
Could resemble a kukri.
