Whether you are looking for the Maniac’s Pinwheel Blade in Lies of P Overture DLC, want to use the Carnival Coin and win the Carnival game, or want to know about the weapon’s stats, scaling, and upgrade materials details, I’ve got everything covered in this guide.
The Maniac’s Pinwheel Blade is a great heavy weapon that deals massive damage to enemies.
It comes with a Charge Fable Art that gives hyper armor for a few seconds at the end of the use.
The other skill allows the weapon to deal a multi-hit combo attack.
For Motivity-based builds, the Maniac’s Pinwheel Blade is one of the best DLC weapons.
It is also easy to upgrade as unlike the Royal Horn Bow, it requires the common Moonstone materials to upgrade.
As good as the weapon is, obtaining it is slightly difficult as it is hidden behind a secret mini-game.
But no worries!
In this guide, I have explained how you can get the Maniac’s Pinwheel Blade in Lies of P Overture DLC while going through its stats, scaling, Fable Arts, and upgrade materials.
Maniac’s Pinwheel Blade stats and scaling
The Maniac’s Pinwheel Blade is a Sword-type Strength, aka Motivity-based weapon that is slow but deals good damage and offers a better damage reduction rate while guarding.
Here’s a look at the weapon’s scaling and stats:
- Physical ATK: 121
- Charge Pulse Cells: 17.15
- Fable Charge: 526
- Technique: D
- Motivity: A
The best part about the weapon is that it comes with an ‘A’ Motivity scaling.
That means you can use two Motivity Crank Handles at Eugenie to upgrade the scaling to ‘S.’
Maniac’s Pinwheel Blade Fable Arts
The weapon comes with two Fable Arts: Charge and Storm Slash.
Charge
Charge forward.
After finishing your charge, you will be able to temporarily withstand the enemy’s attack.
Storm Slash
Slash an enemy in front of you multiple times.
