Similar to the shoto lightsaber, the guard shoto, or lightsaber tonfa, is a lightsaber with its grip set perpendicular to the blade, allowing the wielder to rapidly switch between attack and defense, deflecting bolts and blows one moment and lashing out with circular attacks of blinding speed the next.
More information about the weapon available on the Wookieepedia article.
Models Include: None; each of these weapons is individually constructed.
GUARD SHOTO[1][2][]
This lightsaber is a guard shoto hilt containing an unmodded Ilum lightsaber crystal. This crystal occupies two of the weapon's hard points.
When installing a lightsaber crystal into a guard shoto reduce the damage of that lightsaber crystal by one.
