The swap animation includes an offensive strike, allowing players to deal damage while changing weapon loadouts. For Damiane and Oongka, the description specifies "rapidly switch between your primary and secondary weapons to perform an attack," emphasizing the speed of the transition.

2121 Why to Always Pick up Quick Swap

2323 The game silently defaults your draw to the one-handed sword after certain cutscenes and after retrying a boss fight, which is extremely disruptive if your main kit lives on a two-hander. Quick Swap instantly switches to your two-handed weapon without opening the radial menu, cutting out the second or two of fumbling that would otherwise cost you an opening phase or a skill window. It is a minor-cost skill-tree investment that pays off in every long boss attempt, and it belongs on every serious two-handed setup including any Turning Slash Nuke Build.
