🧪 Moveset Breakdown
🟥 [R] – Critical Slash
Step forward and perform a spinning slash.
- V1: Standard spinning slash
- V2: Two variants — basic slash or hold M2 for slam + blade throw, causes bleed
- Synergizes with C and Z for combo chaining
🟩 [Z] – Rupturing
Dash forward and slash anyone in your path.
- Excellent gap closer
- Hyper armor on dash makes it safe to use against slow parries
- Ideal for engaging or finishing
🟦 [X] – Impaling (V1) / Endless Pursuit (V2)
Leap and throw dagger(s) toward your cursor.
- V1: Single projectile
- V2: Multi-dagger burst, strong chip and pressure tool
- Good mid-range poke, bleeds stack on hit
🟨 [C] – Cutting
Slash twice diagonally. If both connect, initiate a spinning dash finisher.
- Combo extender / finisher
- Relatively fast startup; true combo after air tilt
🎯 Passive Mechanics
- Bleed Stacking: M2 crit or slam procs bleed effect
- Air Slam: Using M2 after tilt throws a blade automatically
- V2 is significantly more aggressive than V1 and better for high-paced PvP
⚔️ Playstyle & Strategy
- Engage with Z → M1 combo starter
- Use M2 crit slam to throw knife and stack bleed
- X (daggers) for pressure or zoning — especially effective post-lunge
- Finish with C after successful air juggle or tilt
- Kite & punish using superior dash speed and projectile options
