The transformed Shogun's tongue is challenging and troublesome. It can bind players and slowly corrode their defenses and reduce the durability of their equipped armors as well. If in case the weapon got caught instead of the player's body, the same will happen except the power of the current weapon wrapped from the tongue will slowly diminish while the durability also reduces every second.
My Versatile Weapon is currently wrapped by the Shogun's Tongue. Sticky and wet, it is getting disgusting as time goes on. But there were no changes to it. It's not getting worn down and it's not even showing signs that its attack is decreasing. I also noticed that the wetness caused by the Shogun's tongue is slowly drying, though it's not that apparent due to how it is still receiving more saliva.
I am keeping my grip on my weapon and tugged the tongue of the Shogun a few times while he also did the same thing, trying to disarm me.
