Chainsaw is an ability usable by Edgar once the Chainsaw item has been obtained and is in the player's inventory. It deals physical damage to one opponent with an attack power of 252, is unblockable, and ignores defense. It has 25% chance of inflicting Death instead of dealing damage and works against undead enemies, but fails on targets immune to Death. The Death attack is considered a magical attack.
