Iron Rod is one of Kilik's weapons in Soulcalibur IV. It, along with Kali-Yuga, is available by default. It has HP Recovery B equipped by default as a skill, which when the player is hit with a combo of 3 or more, their HP is recovered by a medium amount proportional to the total damage of the combo. Iron Rod appeared in Soulcalibur II as Kilik's weapon but in Soulcalibur III oddly it appears as both for him (as the ancient weapon) & custom characters who uses the "staff" discipline. In Soulcalibur IV the weapon returns as Kilik's weapon.
