Revision 8

Overview

Sword 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.

Skill Details

How to Unlock

Upgrade Sword Flurry to Level 2 by spending 1 Abyss Artifact. Alternatively, observe the skill being used in combat to learn it through the Watch and Learn mechanic.

Combat Tips

• The dodge built into the combo makes this skill both offensive and defensive simultaneously.

• Hold the input rather than tapping to get the full multi-slash sequence.

• Chain into Smiting Strike using Smiting Strike Proficiency for a seamless combo transition.

Hold Input Flow

The Proficiency upgrade turns the Sword Flurry button into a hold instead of a single press. 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.

Because 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.
