Skill Examples

Balanced Strikes	These skills are balanced in form, speed, and power, making slash weapons very consistent in damage.
Bleeding	These skills inflict the bleeding condition on opponents.
Blade Aura	(Awakened) This ability allows the user to extend the range of their weapon. The aura that coats the weapon can cut just as well as the blade, making it deceptively power against opponents who can't read the flow of melee combat.
Ranged Slashes	(Awakened) This ability allows the player to use the aura around their blade to cut down opponents from a distance. These attacks shapes the aura into the shape of the cuts, which travel at a high speed, making it difficult for opponents to avoid.
