11Overview22Sword Flurry is a melee combat skill in Crimson Desert, exclusive to Damiane. It belongs to the Stamina (Blue) branch of the skill tree.44Skill Details77DetailInfoCharacterDamianeSkill TreeStamina (Blue)CategoryMelee CombatCost30 StaminaInputR1 + XHow to UnlockStarting skillPrerequisitesNone99Effect1010Press R1 + X to dodge an attack and strike quickly. This evasive strike allows Damiane to avoid incoming damage while simultaneously counterattacking.1212Combat Tips1515Sword Flurry is one of Damiane's core melee tools because it combines defense and offense. Time the input just as an enemy attacks to dodge the hit and land a counter. Upgrade it to Sword Flurry Proficiency for enhanced follow-up strikes. The 30 Stamina cost is moderate, making it sustainable in extended fights.1717Related Skills1919Sword Flurry Proficiency2121See Also2424For a full list of abilities, see the Skills page. Related topics: Combat System, Abyss Artifacts.2626Timing Guide2828Sword Flurry is a dodge-strike: the dodge frames activate at the start of the animation, then Damiane transitions into a fast sword slash. Because the dodge comes first, you can input it as an enemy swing telegraphs, and the built-in invincibility frames will carry you through the incoming attack before the slash lands.3030The Stamina cost is 30 per use, which is noticeably lower than the 40 of Smiting Bolt. This makes Sword Flurry sustainable as a repeated response to enemy pressure rather than a one-off burst. Use it as Damiane's default punish tool whenever a boss or elite commits to a slow animation.3232Requirements3434RequirementDetailCharacterDamianeSkill TreeStamina (Blue) - Sword Skills branchPrerequisitesNone - starting skillStamina Cost30 StaminaControl InputR1 + X3636Sword Flurry Tiers3737LevelUpgradeSword Flurry Lv 1Single dodge-and-slash response (base skill)Sword Flurry Lv 2Sword Flurry Proficiency - hold input for repeated dodge-slashes3939Synergies4040Sword Flurry pairs well with Smiting Strike Proficiency, which lets you cancel the tail of the Sword Flurry animation into a Smiting Strike. The sequence - dodge, slash, smite - turns a single opening into a three-part punish that burns down elite health bars quickly. Against elemental-weak enemies, add an Imbue Element effect to boost the final smite.4242Related Articles4444DamianeDamiane SkillsSkillsCombat SystemAbyss Artifacts
