A mysterious weapon brought from another world. This "bat" is apparently a stick used for a type of entertainment, and is covered with nails. It seems as if this weapon was enshrined in temples made by a race called the Ancients in the world from which it originated.
Description
The Nail Bat appears as a mace, exclusively available during the Final Fantasy VII event Destroy the Reactor. It has 115 ATK and is a non-elemental, two-handed weapon. As such, it has a non-standard damage range (100% - 160%), and raises the equipped unit's Accuracy by 50%.

Etymology
A baseball bat is a smooth wooden or metal club used in baseball to hit the ball after it is thrown by the pitcher. Due to its bludgeoning nature, a baseball bat may be used as a club-like weapon. A nail bat is a modified baseball bat with sharp objects, typically nails, protruding from the broad end. Within the modern world, they are found on street gangs as a makeshift weapon, specifically on bikers and punks in western civilization; its inclusion as a part of the "Force of the Resolute" combination in Dissidia emphasizes this.
