* MagikarpPower: Your sword starts out really weak and generally has an unsafe range on hitting the enemy as it's short and you better hope you can take advantage of the enemy's MercyInvincibility to avoid damage. But, using the sword constantly makes it stronger (and culminates in the strength of your Pulse Blade when you get it, which [[PurposelyOverpowered completely busts out the game]]), whereas other weapons, while having a more safe usage, don't have such progression system and stays stuck in the same power level.
