Sword Skill list and loadout planner
Search by skill or weapon, then save three names as a build shortlist on this device.
No Sword Skills match both filters.
What each entry includes
Each entry pairs a Sword Skill name with its weapon family from Steam demo build 23442858. Search the names you see in-game, save three candidates, then compare their SP cost, effect, reach and animation in the skill menu. The shortlist stays on this device.
Damage multipliers, stat scaling, unlock proficiency and animation timing are not present in the current table, so this page does not turn incomplete numbers into a tier list.
Build a useful three-slot shortlist
| Slot job | What to verify in game | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Fast opener | Startup, reach and SP cost | Gives the build a safe answer in short openings. |
| Control | Stagger, area coverage or repositioning | Solves groups or creates space for the partner. |
| Punish | Damage and animation commitment | Converts a parry, break or boss recovery into value. |
