Masks, weapons, and elemental application#

Hewkii bore two principal masks across his Toa career. The SanokSanokThe Sanok was the Kanohi Mask of Accuracy, granting its wearer the power to strike any target with any thrown object, most famously worn by Toa Inika Hewkii. of his Inika form converted his pre-Toa kolhii precision into an absolute guarantee of projectile accuracy. The GaraiGaraiThe Kanohi Mask of Gravity, granted Hewkii control over the gravitational pull on his targets during the Toa Mahri campaign in the Pit. of his Mahri form replaced that capability with gravity manipulation, an application that suited the underwater conditions of the Pit far better than direct ranged accuracy would have.

His weapon loadout was likewise rebuilt for the Pit. The Aqua WarbladeAqua WarbladeThe Aqua Warblade is a weapon wielded by the Toa Mahri Hewkii, serving as both a tool for channeling elemental energy and an instrument of melee combat. handled close-quarters combat at depth, while Electrified ChainsElectrified ChainsSidearm of Toa Mahri Hewkii, derived from his earlier Climbing Chain and charged with Lightning strong enough to stun a Takea Shark. extended his reach and added a stun element against RahiRahiThe Rahi were the biomechanical wildlife of the Matoran Universe, built largely by the Brotherhood of Makuta, ranging from background fauna to engineered war beasts. and Barraki creatures.
