Notes
The Wakizashi of Eastern Winds is an interesting waki that greatly serves samurai looking to build around inflicting the Exposed debuff for as long, and as much as possible.

This waki applies Exposed for 1 second longer than the Royal Wakizashi, making it an excellent supportive tool for debuffing a strong foe. Additionally, the wavy shot pattern increases the likelihood that a shot will connect and apply the debuff. Furthermore it provides an ample increase to SPD and DEX which allows the samurai to be more agile and evade shots with greater ease.

However, this waki is not ample for inflicting reliable amounts of damage. This waki has one extra shot and a much wider range of damage than a Tiered Waki, thus making it inferior unless you are able to land every single shot. A feat that is difficult due to the wavy pattern in each bullet.

It is worth noting that this waki has slightly higher maximum range compared to a tiered waki, which can allow a samurai to hang back just a little bit farther. Shots also come from the right instead of the left, requiring users of this waki to account for the difference in projectile angle to land hits.
