11Overview22334455Sword Flurry Proficiency is an enhanced melee skill for Damiane in the Stamina Skill Tree. It upgrades the base Sword Flurry to allow Damiane to dodge enemy attacks while rapidly slashing multiple times in a row. By holding R1 + X, she performs an extended evasive slash combo.6677Skill Details8899PropertyDetailSkill TreeStaminaStamina Cost30 StaminaHow to UnlockSword Flurry Lv 2 + Abyss Artifact x1InputEnhanced Sword FlurryCharactersDamiane onlyParent SkillSword Flurry1010How to Unlock11111212Upgrade Sword Flurry to Level 2 by spending 1 Abyss Artifact.

Press R1 + X as normal, and the first dodge-slash plays out; keep the buttons held and Damiane chains into a sequence of additional dodging slashes. Each slash carries its own short invincibility window, so the string also functions as defensive movement against multi-hit enemy attacks.21212222Because each slash in the extended combo also drains Stamina, a full sequence is Stamina-intensive. Keep an eye on the Stamina gauge and release the input early if Damiane is about to run out, otherwise the combo ends on an exhausted sword strike that leaves her vulnerable.23232424Requirements25252626RequirementDetailCharacterDamianeSkill TreeStamina (Blue) - Sword Skills branchParent SkillSword Flurry Level 2Cost to Unlock1 Abyss Artifact, or observe an enemy perform the skill (Watch and Learn)Stamina Cost30 Stamina per slash in the chainControl InputHold R1 + X2727Related Skills28282929Sword Flurry - parent skill.Smiting Strike Proficiency - chain Smiting Strike out of the Sword Flurry tail for a smooth combo.Piercing Light - alternative sword finisher to follow the Flurry.Imbue Element - add elemental damage to each slash in the chain.30303131Related Articles32323333Damiane SkillsSkillsCombat SystemAbyss Artifacts
