Revision 1

Overview

Swift Stab is a combat skill in Crimson Desert, available to Kliff. It belongs to the Stamina (Blue) branch of the skill tree.

Skill Details

Effect

Press R1 after a successful charged Stab to perform a follow-up attack. Kliff quickly draws back and strikes again after landing a charged Stab, extending the combo with an additional hit. The follow-up is faster than the initial charged Stab, catching enemies before they can recover from the first hit. The 50 Stamina cost is significant but reflects the combined damage of the two-hit sequence.

How to Acquire

Swift Stab is unlocked when the Stab skill reaches Level 2. It can also be learned through the "Watch and Learn" mechanic by observing the skill performed during combat (such as defeating the Reed Devil). Stab is one of Kliff's starting skills, so Swift Stab can be acquired early in the game.

Tips

• Swift Stab can be acquired for free early in the game by defeating the Reed Devil and observing the technique, saving you an Abyss Artifact.

• The follow-up attack is faster than the initial charged Stab, so enemies caught by the first hit are likely to be hit by the second as well.

• Chain charged Stab into Swift Stab, then into Skewering Stab for a three-part combo that transitions into a grapple for maximum damage.
