✨Today we’re diving into the Violin Katana, one of Zura’s most elegant yet devastating Instruments. What began with the World Cut’s slashes has now evolved into new possibilities, fast, cinematic bursts that hold enemies in place for stylish finishers.✨

For the past month, the team ( @dpad.studio ) and I have been crunching to take care of a sudden deadline for a new, unannounced project. Today, we finally finished phase one! With that, we're going to be taking a short vacation for once. Its a long road ahead, but for now, a teaser.
