Overview

The Hunter's Partisan deals higher damage overall than the Sword or Wired Lance, and can hit in a wider range than the Sword. However, the Partisan requires you to be more careful due to its longer attack animations. Though it can still Guard with its Weapon Action, it does not have an additional counter to it like Sword, and canceling a PA mainly requires Step.

With Hunter Arts Avenger and its related skills learned, PAs can deal 1.5x damage, restore 10 PP, and grant invincibility (that can be further extended) by releasing the PA right before an enemy attacks.
For a Partisan Hunter, it is recommended to take advantage of Avenger not only for damage, but for invincibility to prevent you from getting hit out of your PAs.

Partisans exclusively have additional options with Weapon Action, besides Guard. Partisans can exclusively use Assault Charge for additional damage or gap closing, Volkraptor for additional damage and a large amount of Physical Down buildup, and Partisan Quick Assault to reach enemies vertically.

Features of Partisan

Photon Arts

Cleaving Scythe

Icon Name Stat Lv.1
UINGSPhotonArtCleavingScythe.png Cleaving Scythe Power 1010
PP 26
Description
Partisan Photon Art.
Quickly mows down enemies in front of you.
Charge to launch an alternate attack.
  • Perform a wide slash in front of you uncharged, and additional, delayed slash if charged for 0.7 seconds.
    • Moves you forward roughly a Step upon using the PA.
    • The delayed slash can launch smaller enemies.
  • When charged, you can cancel the additional slash with Step or Assault Charge before your character turns around.
  • Though a PP drain (-36 without -PP consumption), you can use uncharged Cleaving Scythe followed up with an Assault Charge to move faster than Photon Dash if you are targeting an enemy.
  • Power Notation: If uncharged, the slash deals 22% of noted power. If charged, the slash deals 60%, and the delayed slash 40%.


Thrusting Javelin

Icon Name Stat Lv.1
UINGSPhotonArtThrustingJavelin.png Thrusting Javelin Power 750
PP 25
Description
Partisan Photon Art.
Launch the weapon at a target after a thrust.
Press and hold the PA button to thrust until your PP is depleted and throw.
  • Thrust then throw your Partisan at the enemy. Holding the PA button will consume PP and allow you to continue thrusting until you are out. You will attack faster on the 6th thrust.
    • -PP consumption only reduces the initial PA use, and not any additional thrusts.
  • Attacks the enemy in front of you despite the animation thrusting to the left and right.
  • The thrown Partisan is slow, but can be thrown upward or downward with lock-on.
  • Without lock-on, you can slowly turn during the PA.
  • Power Notation: Each thrust deals 10% each of noted power, while the thrown Partisan deals 50%.


Fatal Tornado

Icon Name Stat Lv.1
UINGSPhotonArtFatalTornado.png Fatal Tornado Power 1230
PP 20
Description
Partisan Photon Art.
Attack the surrounding enemies by spinning the weapon.
Charge to launch an alternate attack.
  • Performs 2 spins uncharged, and a spin followed by 2 slashes if charged for 0.7 seconds. Charged increases damage.
    • 4 hits uncharged, 6 hits charged.
  • Can be canceled only with Step after a spin, and before and after the first slash if charged.
  • After each spin, you will move forward even without input, and diagonally to the left or right if their respective inputs are held during the PA. You can also briefly move in any direction before the first slash when charged.
    • If you are colliding with the enemy, you will not move forward, but you can still move to the left or right.
  • Without Hunter Arts Parry Advanced, you are vulnerable near the end of the PA if charged.
  • Power Notation: If uncharged, deal 13.5% x 4 of noted power. If charged, deal 12% x 4 for the spin, 27% for the first slash, and 25% for the second slash.


Triumphant Shift

Icon Name Stat Lv.1

PP 22
Description
Partisan Photon Art.
Repeats a combo of striking into the air, a stab, and a cleave.
  • Performs 3 slashes, a stab, then a retreating cleave.
    • The slashes can launch smaller enemies.
  • When using the PA with a target, you will ascend during the slashes until you are slightly above your target. You can also retreat to the left or right before the cleave; the retreat will also raise you slightly.
  • Can be canceled with Step, Assault Charge, or PA before the stab or cleave.
  • Power Notation: The slashes deal 10% x 3 of noted power, the stab 30%, and the cleave 40%.
