The Knife

The Knife is a non-elemental staff available for Natalie in Epic Battle Fantasy 5.

Description

The Knife is a typical chef's steak knife, with a black handle and steel blade.

It gives a massive boost to Attack, as well as sharply boosting Accuracy and Evade. Unfortunately, The Knife lacks any Magic Attack at all whatsoever, making it an impractical weapon for Natalie given her near exclusive use of magic. That said, The Knife does improve the power of healing items as well as the power of buffs, making it hypothetically viable for a support-oriented build. In that case, it may be more useful to use the Beholding Eye, given its better set of abilities and resistances at the cost of not boosting healing items.

What makes The Knife capable of being a useful offensive weapon is that it has a very high chance of inflicting Instant Death with Weapon-elemental attacks (such as its Normal Attack counter). This allows Natalie to make use of The Knife in any build as she will rely on buffs and Instant Death instead of dealing consistent damage. In such a case, the Blue Elephant would be useful to improve the odds of Instant Death.

It grants resistances to Curse, Bad Luck, Doom and Death, all of which become immunities at level 5.
