The Serrate Quinque is a fast, combo-based dagger weapon with strong aerial juggles, stun chaining, and a high-skill ceiling. In its V2 form, it gains more utility, better hyper armor, and alternate crit variants to extend combos or break blocks.
🧠 Best used by mechanically skilled players who enjoy air combos, spacing, and reactive gameplay.

- ✅ Save X for grounded follow-ups or combo finishes.
- ✅ C > Z chaining allows strong juggle loops if timed well.
- ❌ Avoid spamming Z/X without confirming a hit — they’re easily punished.
