Overview
The Fighter's Knuckles focuses on dealing quick but powerful blows. Its Sway Weapon Action possesses one of the safest yet strongest counterattacks amongst all weapons.
As one may assume, Knuckles have the shortest range of all weapons. Nearly all of Knuckles' attacks require you to stay very close to the enemy.
Fighter's weapon PAs are split into two halves, and learning Fighter Skip Arts allows you to use the first half by inputting a directional key, or to instead skip to the second half by not inputting.
For Knuckles PAs, halves tend to vary in their use, but its second halves deal more damage than the first halves overall.
Features of Knuckles
Normal Attacks
| Icon | Stat | NA1 | NA2 | NA3 | NA4 | NA5 | Alt. |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Potency | 55 x 2 | 95 | 95 | 100 | 70 x 3 + 100 | 175 |
| PP Recovery | 2 x 2 | 4 | 4 | 12 | 1 x 3 + 3 | 3 |
Punch the enemy with Knuckles. Knuckle Attack Extra adds the 4th and 5th NA. Knuckle Attack Alternation provides an alternative 5th NA that is faster than the original, sacrificing total damage and PP recovery. Same Arts Skip Attack - Fighter and Another Arts Skip - Fighter allows you to skip to the 3rd and 4th NAs after using a PA twice or two different PAs, respectively.
Normal Attacks
- 3rd NA onwards move you forward towards your target. You can further increase this distance by holding the forward input.
- 5th NA performs a leaping punch that hits 3 times, then a slam.
- 5th NA autoguards from all directions until you perform the slam. Also provides super armor during the entire animation.
Alternation
- A faster version of NA5 that can be performed by not pressing a movement input during NA5.
- Sacrifices totaldamage, PP recovery, and safety compared to NA5, but is most effective when you're expecting an enemy to move away from you, or to fit in an extra counter that the normal NA5 might've blocked from its autoguard.
- Less safe than normal NA5 as its autoguard is significantly shortened.
Weapon Action
| Icon | Stat | Sway | Counter | Counter Plus | Knuckle Attack Switch | Knuckle Attack Switch Alt. |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Potency | 170 | 390 | 500 | 90 x 3 + 100 | 250 |
| PP Recovery | 6 | 10 | 10 | 1 x 3 + 3 | 3 |
Duck and sway to dodge attacks from all directions, then follow up with a punch.
Counter

Knuckle Attack Switch + Alt. Variation
- Perform a slightly stronger NA5 following a counter (can be either Sway Counter or Sway Counter Plus) by pressing Normal Attack. You can stock this attack once and perform it later, if desired. With Knuckle Attack Alternation learned and with no movement input, you can instead perform NA5 Alt.
- Besides the difference in damage, it possesses the same PP recovery, autoguard, and super armor properties as the original NA5 and NA5 Alt.
- Stocked attack persists even if you switch to a weapon that is multiweapon'd with Knuckles.
- Even if you fail to dodge an attack using the Weapon Action, you will not lose the stocked attack.
- Replaces one stage of NAs if used in a combo. (Example: PA1 -> PA2 -> KAS -> NA5)
