Weapons that come with Blood Tax

Blood Tax on each weapon class move names inferred

Motion value (MV) is each hit's share of the weapon's attack rating (100 = all of it). The skill plays its own animations for each class, and stance and stamina also depend on the weapon, so each group names the weapon the numbers come from.
