11 Overview
22  
33 Drawn 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.

55 Unlike 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.

1212 The 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.

1919 At L5, a successful parry followed by a Basic Attack deals an additional 320% of ATK as Incantation DMG. This is a flat multiplier applied to the character's total ATK stat, making it scale well with ATK-boosting substats and buffs from teammates.

6565 Drawn Blade drops from the Scarborough Fair gacha banner. Every 10-pull guarantees at least one A-Class or higher Arc, so consistent pulling produces copies for refinement without requiring soft pity.

6969 Drawn Blade rewards players who have mastered the Parry System timing. If you rarely land parries, the passive sits idle and the low 395 base ATK makes this Arc underperform.The 37.5% ATK secondary roll is the highest percentage stat on any A-Class ATK Arc, which partially compensates for the lower base ATK when the passive is not triggering.Pair with Incantation Elemental Reactions setups that stagger enemies, since staggered enemies expose reliable parry windows.Train against Anomaly Bosses first. Their attack telegraphs are the easiest place to practice the parry-follow-up rhythm before taking the Arc into high-difficulty content.
