Gameplay
Old Glory is the weapon carried by Ulysses. It is a flag pole with an eagle affixed to the top. Ulysses wields a non-playable version of Old Glory. The weapon has higher damage, but lower critical damage and a critical multiplier of 1. It also has a 10% chance of knocking enemies down (unless they have Stonewall). The weapon scales to the player character's level, gaining extra damage and critical damage at levels 25, 35, and 45.
