11Overview22Spinning Slash Proficiency is a melee enhancement for Kliff in the Stamina Skill Tree. It upgrades the base Spinning Slash to allow consecutive spinning attacks. By repeatedly pressing R1 + X, Kliff chains multiple spinning slashes together for sustained rotational damage.55Skill Details77PropertyDetailSkill TreeStaminaStamina Cost30 StaminaControlsPress R1 + X repeatedly / RB + A repeatedlyCharactersKliff onlyParent SkillSpinning Slash99How to Unlock1010Upgrade Spinning Slash to Level 2 by spending 1 Abyss Artifact.

Each press of R1 + X (or RB + A on Xbox) triggers another spin in the same sequence, and the direction of each additional rotation follows the left stick, so you can drift through a cluster of enemies rather than staying rooted to one spot.2020The combo ends when Stamina runs out or you release the input. Because Stamina drains per spin, a full rotation set against a single tough target is wasteful; save the follow-up spins for groups or for enemies standing in a tight line.2222Requirements2424RequirementDetailCharacterKliffSkill TreeStamina (Blue) - Spinning Attacks branchParent SkillSpinning Slash Level 2Cost to Unlock1 Abyss Artifact, or observe an enemy perform a spin attack (Watch and Learn)Stamina Cost30 Stamina per spinControl InputR1 + X repeatedly / RB + A repeatedly2626Synergies2727Spinning Slash Proficiency is part of the chain that leads to Echoing Spinning Slash under the Nature's Echo system. Once Nature's Echo is unlocked and active, the echo version of Spinning Slash doubles the hit count by mirroring Kliff's spins with nature energy. The Proficiency follow-up spins count as separate inputs for the echo, so the damage increase scales with how many spins you manage to chain before running out of Stamina.2929Spinning Slash Tiers3131LevelUpgradeSpinning Slash Lv 1Base single-spin attackSpinning Slash Lv 2 (Proficiency)Consecutive spins while Stamina allowsNature's Echo Lv 1+Echoing Spinning Slash - doubles output when the echo is active3333Related Skills3434Spinning Slash - parent skill.Nature's Echo - unlocks the Echoing variant.Echoing Spinning Slash - doubles up with the nature echo.Forward Slash Proficiency - similar chained upgrade on Forward Slash.3636Related Articles3838Kliff SkillsSkillsCombat SystemAbyss Artifacts
