Can someone explain the "grace period" regarding the chainsaw?

[MH DOOM]

I'm in Dead Plaza and I see a shop has a new item "Further Grace" - "Grace period on chainsaw projectile damage increased".

I have no idea what this means. Was there a grace period regarding chainsaws? I can't seem to find anything anywhere about this. Even some posts here in the steam message boards allude to it, but nothing clear.

Can someone explain it to me, or link me to some information? I'd appreciate it!

Further Grace increases i-frames when you use chainsaw leg

Oh I didn't realize there WERE i-frames with the chainsaw leg!

Yup. Just keep in mind that they don't apply to every projectile type. Projectiles from Splits and all explosive projectiles ignore i-frames.

Still super good though, lets you run into any big group of fodder enemies and chainsaw kill all of them with no risk at all.

Do these ignore dash i-frames as well?

Yes, dash i-frames work the same as chegg i-frames

I can totally see why it's like that but it seems a bit inconsistent. Does explain why I kept dying trying to dash through them, I just thought my timing sucked.

I also tried to dash through A-0's damage fields. Didn't work either!

Enemy projectiles that are bullets will be nullified by i-frames and not produce damage to player vitals, split's cross projectiles, rockets/explosives, teddy slam, toxic sludge and leaper rings are seen as environmental damage and thus are not affected by i-frames and will add damage to said player vitals as consequence.
