Swing the Sword to hit enemies in front of you. Learning [[Portal:New_Genesis/Hunter#sae|Sword Attack Extra]] adds NA4 and the high-damaging NA5 if learned. [[Portal:New_Genesis/Hunter#saa|Sword Attack Alternation]] allows you to perform a high-damaging slash after a successful Avenger by pressing Normal Attack. [[Portal:New_Genesis/Hunter#sasah|Same Arts Skip Attack - Hunter]] and [[Portal:New_Genesis/Hunter#aasah|Another Arts Skip Attack - Hunter]] allows you to skip to the 3rd and 4th NAs, respectively.<br>
 +
 
 +
'''Normal Attacks'''
 +
* NA5 autoguards from all directions during its animation.
 +
* Alternation guards from all directions.
  
The Sword exclusively has '''Auto-Avenge''' after 1.5 seconds of reaching a charge state with a PA, and after 3 seconds, can '''Overcharge''', doubling its damage, and can stack with Avenger bonuses.

==Features of Sword==
+
[[Portal:New_Genesis/Hunter#sae|Sword Attack Extra]]<br>
* '''Normal Attacks:''' Swing the sword 3 times to hit enemies in front of you. '''Sword Attack Extra''' adds the 4th swing and the high-damaging 5th swing if learned. '''Same Arts Skip''' and '''Another Arts Skip''' allows you to skip to the 3rd and 4th Normal Attacks, respectively.
+
[[Portal:New_Genesis/Hunter#saa|Sword Attack Alternation]]<br>
** PP Recovery: In order of the 5 swings, restore 7 -> 7 -> 8 -> 15 -> 3 PP.
+
[[Portal:New_Genesis/Hunter#sasah|Same Arts Skip Attack - Hunter]]<br>
*** 5th swing automatically Guards from all directions during its animation.
+
[[Portal:New_Genesis/Hunter#aasah|Another Arts Skip Attack - Hunter]]<br>
*** With '''Sword Attack Alternation''', using Normal Attack after an Avenger instead deals a high-damaging slash that provides invincibility.
+
=== Weapon Action ===
* '''Weapon Action:''' Guard in front of you with the Sword. You can completely negate damage if you Guard before an attack hits you. If held, you will reduce incoming damage by 25% and consume 20 PP.  
+
<div class="mx-auto table-responsive-md">
** If learned, '''Sword Guard Counter''' automatically performs a counter, while '''Sword Guard Counter Plus''' allows you to follow up with an additional counter with Normal Attack. '''Omnidirectional Guard''' allows you to Guard from all directions.
+
{| class="prettytable"
*** PP Recovery: With SGC, restore 5 PP, with SGC+, restore 20 PP.

Guard in front of you with the Sword. You can completely negate attacks (excluding grabs and certain attacks) if you guard before an attack hits you. If held, you will instead reduce incoming damage by 75% and consume 20 PP. Learning [[Portal:New_Genesis/Hunter#og|Omnidirectional Guard]] allows you to guard from all directions.

[[Portal:New_Genesis/Hunter#sgc|'''Sword Guard Counter''']]
 +
* Successfully guarding an attack automatically performs a counter.
 +
* You are invincible until the end of its animation.
 +
 
 +
[[Portal:New_Genesis/Hunter#sgcp|'''Sword Guard Counter Plus''']]
 +
* Follow up a Sword Guard Counter with another counter by pressing Normal Attack.
 +
* You are invincible until the end of its animation.
 +
** As the invincibility is long, you may miss an opportunity to follow up with another counter.

Overview

The Hunter's Sword is a relatively straightforward and safe weapon. Most of the Sword's PAs can be charged, can prevent flinching or a knock down (super armor) during a PA, and can be canceled most of the time with guard, the Sword's Weapon Action, at any time before a PA ends.

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.
It is in a Sword Hunter's best interest to know the enemy's attack patterns and Avenger when they can, and use guard to cancel if an enemy's attacks catches them by surprise. With the Hunter skills that enhance the Sword's guard, you can follow up with counters.

Features of Sword

NGSUINormalAttackSword.png Potency 135 145 135 160 500 480
PP Recovery 7 7 8 15 3 15

Swing the Sword to hit enemies in front of you. Learning Sword Attack Extra adds NA4 and the high-damaging NA5 if learned. Sword Attack Alternation allows you to perform a high-damaging slash after a successful Avenger by pressing Normal Attack. Same Arts Skip Attack - Hunter and Another Arts Skip Attack - Hunter allows you to skip to the 3rd and 4th NAs, respectively.

Normal Attacks

  • NA5 autoguards from all directions during its animation.
  • Alternation guards from all directions.

Guard in front of you with the Sword. You can completely negate attacks (excluding grabs and certain attacks) if you guard before an attack hits you. If held, you will instead reduce incoming damage by 75% and consume 20 PP. Learning Omnidirectional Guard allows you to guard from all directions.

Sword Guard Counter

  • Successfully guarding an attack automatically performs a counter.
  • You are invincible until the end of its animation.

Sword Guard Counter Plus

  • Follow up a Sword Guard Counter with another counter by pressing Normal Attack.
  • You are invincible until the end of its animation.
    • As the invincibility is long, you may miss an opportunity to follow up with another counter.

  • Sidestep Attack/Counter: After a Sidestep, press Normal Attack to perform a kick. If you dodge an enemy's attack with Sidestep, the damage is increased and you instead perform a diagonal slash. Learning Sword SC Alternation increases the potency and gap-closing properties of the counter.
    • You are invincible during its animation.

  • Dive Attack: Nearly the same across all weapons. Dive deals damage to nearby enemies and restores no PP, and is mainly used to reach the ground faster. Damage increases when diving from a high height (roughly two Photon Dash jumps).

Photon Blast

Focus photons into your sword to greatly increase its size, and perform a cleave followed up with a horizontal slash that explodes shortly after.

  • You will remain still upon using the Photon Blast.
  • If you hit an enemy on the cleave, a hitstop effect will occur.
  • Relatively long start-up time compared to other Photon Blasts, so be wary if you are not using it during a Down or Break.
  • Like all Photon Blasts, you are invincible during its animation.
  • Potency Notation: Deals 144% x 16 hits (cleave) + 960% (horizontal slash) + 1080% (explosion).

  • Provides super armor.
  • Can be canceled at any time with Weapon Action.
    • If charged and hitting an enemy, you cannot guard for a moment the "grinding" effect occurs.
  • Potency Notation: If uncharged, the first slash deals 22%, and the second 28% of noted potency. If charged, the first slash deals 6% over 12 hits, and 28% for the second slash.
