Move Damage Type & Modifier Stamina Effect

R1 Combo 1.00x 19 A four move combo that consists of three horizontal slashes, followed by a forward thrust. The first attack sweeps left to right, then right to left and back to left to right. All slashes are about chest level. The final attack is a thrust forward, which with this weapon looks like a punch. The combo repeats starting with the first move. Despite horizontal sweeping attacks, there is very little range to the sides.

Quickstep R1 0.95x 25 There are three animations for quickstep attacks. The left and right step results in an uppercut with the weapon from right to left. The hunter takes several short steps forward with these. The forward step is a similar uppercut but scrapes the blade on the ground first and steps forward a shorter distance. The back quick step uses a jab straight out.

Backstep R1 0.95x 25 The backstep R1 uses the same punching animation as the fourth attack in the R1 combo, with the exception of footwork. The backstep ends with the right foot forward after a short hop.

Rolling R1 0.94x 25 The attack animation is an uppercut much like the quickstep.

Dash R1 1.10x 30 (+run) The dash R1 is the same horizontal slash from left to right used in the R1 combo's first attack.

R2 Attack 1.35x 45 The hunter cocks his arm back and does an overhand punch slashing the weapon down and across the body, ending near the left hip. The blade grazes the ground.

Charged 1.90x 65 The R2 windup is extended down. After a short twist of the arm, the weapon is brought up and down in a very similar punching motion to the R2, except terminating in the ground rather than coming back to the hunter's hip.

Backstep R2 0.95x 40 After a very quick hop forward, the weapon is slashed from right to left with a slight upward trend. It starts at about hip level and finishes at shoulder height on the left side.

Dash R2 1.25x 45 (+run) The dashing R2 is functionally the same attack as the standard R2.

Leap 1.50x 50 (+run) The leap attack results in a punch forward as the hunter lands.
