It is not a weapon type, it's the same old weapon with added mechanics.

For example, normal IG in xr only has ground combo and extract guage can go up as far as level 5, but Hadama IG adds jump combo, level 6 extract guage and some flashy moves at level 6.

Like wise, normal CB has to time the charge slash in sns mode, and in axe mode, you can only do AED, but Hadama CB let you unleash in sns mode without needing to time the bar, and what best, is it turn AED into SAED!
