- Pair them with another family: you carry two main weapons and, when you switch, you recover all your Sha-Chi; the stowed weapon goes on cooldown.
- Power Surge: each weapon has its own (L2) and it costs 1 Sha-Chi Essence.
- Family accessory: Quick Hand Might gives +10% damage with this weapon type.
