Aww, you almost healed me to death that time!
The Spy on the overheal effect

The Conniver's Kunai is a promotional melee weapon for the Spy. It is a Japanese Template:W dagger with a cloth-bound handle.

Equipping this weapon reduces the user's max health by 65, thereby lowering the Spy's overall health to a total of 60. Upon a successful backstab, degenerative effects such as afterburn and bleed will end. The victim's total health, including overheal, is then added to the user's own health. This heals any damage taken, and then applies the remainder in the form of an overheal, capping out at a maximum of 180. When the Conniver's Kunai is equipped, the Spy's overheal mechanic functions differently from a standard overheal, depleting at 2 health per second. Overheal applied by a Medic will fade in 15 seconds, while overheal at maximum buff, applied through the Conniver's Kunai, will fade in 60 seconds.

Taunting with the Conniver's Kunai equipped allows the Spy to perform a deadly Fencing maneuver.

Players who pre-purchased Total War: SHOGUN 2 on Steam before March 15, 2011 were awarded with a Genuine quality version of this item.

Update history

March 10, 2011 Patch (Shogun Pack)
  • The Conniver's Kunai was added to the game.

March 11, 2011 Patch

  • Fixed players getting a health bonus based on the weapon they're currently holding instead of the weapon that dealt the killing blow.

March 15, 2011 Patch

  • This weapon became tradeable.
  • All Conniver's Kunais crafted before this patch were upgraded to Vintage quality.
  • [Undocumented] This item was given a unique crafting recipe.

April 14, 2011 Patch (Hatless Update)

  • Spies now can speak their Domination or Revenge lines correctly when using the Knife or Conniver's Kunai.

June 23, 2011 Patch (Über Update)

  • [Undocumented] This weapon was added to the crafting blueprint for the Big Earner.

Bugs

  • The Conniver's Kunai clips through the Spy's sleeve in first person view, despite it having no clipping issues during development.[1]
  • When pulling out the Conniver's Kunai, the blade-opening sound effect of the Knife unfolding can still be heard.
  • Switching to a different melee weapon while outside of a respawn area, obtaining a kill and then touching a resupply cabinet will double the overheal obtained using the Kunai, allowing for a maximum amount of 375 health overhealed.[2]
  • If a player raises the Conniver's Kunai to stab and then switches their view to any world geometry, the knife will remain raised.[3]
  • The overheal from the Kunai is overridden if overhealed from a Medi Gun or Kritzkrieg. The result is a lowered max overhealed health of 90.

Trivia

  • A conniver is a person who manipulates or secretly conspires with others, usually to advance their own agenda.
  • Historically, Template:W were farming tools; when the Japanese emperor announced Martial Law and banned weapons, farming tools were among the easily disguised substitutes adopted.
  • They were also commonly used as crowbars or prybars.
