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.

  • You will remain still upon using the Photon Blast.
  • If you hit an enemy on the cleave, a hitstop effect will occur.

  • Potency Notation: Deals 144% x 16 hits (cleave) + 960% (horizontal slash) + 1080% (explosion).

    • If you are not locked-on, you can adjust the direction you are attacking in before each slash.
    • If performed on the ground, your character will take a small step forward for each slash. This is not done if performed in the air.
