11Overview2233Drawn Blade is an A-Class Arc in Neverness to Everness built around the parry mechanic. After triggering a successful Parry Attack, the next Basic Attack deals additional Incantation DMG scaled from the wielder's ATK percentage. This makes Drawn Blade a high-skill, high-reward option that converts defensive play into massive burst damage.4455Unlike most Arcs that provide passive stat bonuses regardless of player input, Drawn Blade's value is directly tied to the player's ability to execute parries consistently. In the hands of a skilled player who can time parries against enemy attack patterns, Drawn Blade delivers some of the highest single-hit damage numbers among A-Class Arcs.6677Lore8899"Lone moon, dark clouds. Blade drawn, soul departs. Form fades, blade weeps."101011+1112The flavor text paints a somber picture of a solitary warrior drawing their blade under a moonless sky. The imagery of the blade weeping suggests a weapon with a consciousness or spiritual connection to its wielder, mourning the lives it takes. This poetic framing fits the Arc's mechanical identity: the moment of the parry is a brief, decisive exchange where one wrong move spells defeat.12131314Passive Effect14151516After triggering a Parry Attack, the next Basic Attack deals additional Incantation DMG.
