1111 How To Obtain
1212  
1313 Claio Solas is given to Juno by Cabbage at Koro Valley - Cliff-Side Shelter, immediately before an ambush by a group of Sphera. This is the first proper combat encounter of Chapter 1, and the sword is also the weapon used in the cooking-pot tutorial when the player follows Estera's bidding back at Lyhamn.

1515 Basic Attacks
1616  
1717 Two basic attacks are unlocked from the start, with a third hidden one added by certain ledge interactions:
1818  
1919 MoveDescriptionWater DanceThe base combo, performed by mashing the attack button. Two forward slashes followed by a 360-degree spin attack. The final spin hits twice and counts as a Finisher.River TapReplaces the first attack of Water Dance when starting from a dash. A faster forward sweep that is otherwise similar in shape. Continuing to press attack flows directly into the second hit of Water Dance.Jump AttackA hidden move that does not appear in the Growth Chart. Pressing attack while airborne triggers a front-flip into an overhead slam.
2020 Combat Arts
2121  
2222 Five Combat Arts are unlockable in the Growth Chart, each costing one Growth Point. They expand Claio Solas's offensive vocabulary considerably and define the weapon's role in any given build.
2323  
2424 Ocean Ring
2525  
2626 Hold the attack button to charge, then release for a powerful dual sweep around Juno. Movement during the charge is slow but possible, and holding the direction extends the area of effect. Strong against grouped enemies and when used immediately after a parry.
2727  
2828 Vapor Thrust
2929  
3030 Hold attack after a Back Step to start charging, then release for a long, aimable thrust attack that hits multiple enemies in a line. Releasing early or simply tapping the button performs River Tap instead, so timing matters. Useful for closing distance and getting back into a combo from a defensive reset.
3131  
3232 Rain Fall
3333  
3434 Hold attack after the first hit of Water Dance for a flurry of stab attacks in front of Juno, ending with one big stab that counts as a Finisher. The flurry quickly fills the break bar of the targeted enemy, making Rain Fall one of Claio Solas's main stagger tools.
3535  
3636 Tide Breaker
3737  
3838 Press attack after a successful parry for a fast counter stab. The stab automatically faces the parried attacker and can hit multiple enemies in a line, pushing them along with Juno. Best used as the immediate follow-up to a clean parry.
3939  
4040 Crashing Wave
4141  
4242 Wait briefly after the second attack of Water Dance, then press attack three more times for an extended combo: a jumping spin attack, a double slash, and a frontflip into an overhead smash. The final hit counts as a Finisher and is especially effective against broken enemies.

4444 Other Nodes
4545  
4646 Two Minor Gem Slot nodes are available in the Growth Chart, each costing one Growth Point. These nodes do nothing in the launch build because no minor weapon gems are obtainable yet. Once minor gems become craftable, the slots will let players further tune Claio Solas inside its currently equipped Aspect.
4747  
4848 Removed Nodes
4949  
5050 An earlier showcase build briefly included a Fluid Cadence node that increased an undefined "Cadence" stat after hitting an enemy with the last attack of Water Dance. The node was cut from the public demo because the underlying Cadence mechanic was not implemented. It may return in a later patch.
