Short Blade Blood Arts

Go back to the Blood Arts lists.

Windslash formation / 風斬りの陣
Add slicing Oracle blade after each attacks. Rank II add one more Oracle blade, forming a X slashing.



Blood Splattering Dance / 血煙乱舞
After the 4th attack, your character start swinging the blade in a X motion and it does not consume any Stamina at all. During the BA, your character can't move but you can change the direction that your character facing. It can be cancelled to Advance Step, Jump, Rising Edge or devour.



Piercing Ray / ピアシングレイ
Add a Oracle blade that can hit further than the blade. On rank III, this BA hit twice (the blade and the oracle).



Phantom Nail / ファントムネイル
Change the 5th attack to a lunging attack (2 Steps) after a small charging.



Killer Bee Stab / キラービースタッブ
Make the 5th attack to do a small backstep and lunge foward (same distance as the backstep). On rank III, this does hit three times.



Hell Spiral / 地獄の螺旋
Same movement as Raider Stab but it summon a spirilling aura (keep tapping the button to keep doing it). You can't move during this but you can change the direction that your character is facing. This Blood Art can only be use when your HP is below 40% and consume 5 HP per second, don't fret, your HP will not drop to 0 and if your allies healed you to above 40% HP, the attack will cease. This BA does not recover OP and since the requirement of using this BA is HP below 40%, equip Survial Instinct skill to increase damage output.

Raider Stab / レイダースタッブ
Have the same movement as Killer Bee Stab but recovers HP upon hit. It also work on Aragami corpses.

Gale Slash / 烈風刃
Add shockwave to Step attacks, Square and Triangle. Square does a 4 way shockwaves that travel for 1 Step. Triangle does a tall and travel quite far. It also pierce through enemies and hit multiple times. These shockwaves does a lot of damage and the they nullify some Aragami Oracle attack.





Flying Lotus / フライングロータス
Make the 3rd attack push your character back and do a Oracle blade slashing at the same time. On later rank, more Oracle blade are summoned making a X slash. The BA can be cancelled to Aerial Step, double jump or Triangle attacks.



===Dancing Zap​per / ダンシングザッパー === If the 3rd attack hit, your character start to blink/teleport and slashing but it's not accurate for aiming a specific Aragami's part. On rank I, the BA does 3 slashes (light blue), rank II 5 slashes (yellow), rank III 10 slashes (red) and rank IV 10 (red) slashes that ignore defences. Also, if the slashing hit a weak spots, circles will be shown. The BA can be cancelled to double jump, Aerial Step or guard.





Spiral Meteor / スパイラルメテオ
Summon a Oracle meteor, falling down with you. Summon 2/3/4 more meteors on rank II/III/IV.



Astral Dive 【アストラルダイヴ】 Changes Air Triangle to have a charging animation before dashing down diagonally as per normal. Does extra damage when you land a critical strike with this BA. Due to the inability to change directions when activated, it may be difficult to hit the weak point for a critical strike.

Kirin Canter 【麒麟駆け】 Changes the Air Triangle Attack to make the player flip back into the air after landing a successful Air Triangle Attack. Successful Air Triangle Attack will also create a oracle explosion. Consumes 10/10/7/7 stamina upon successful hits. Essentially it is possible to spam this move on the target provided it doesn't move around, or the part you're hitting has nothing below it. The backflip from this BA will position you slightly off center if the angle of entry is a bit off, so take care when trying to chain spam this BA. Can be cancelled into Advanced Step upon landing on the floor, so chain it into a Rising Edge to repeat the combo.

Air Triangle Attack 2
Changes Air Triangle Attack to have a small charging and jumping animation (in air), then slams down for a small area damage. Position of the drop can be adjusted slightly during the animation.
 * God Embroidery 【神縫い】

Changes Air Triangle Attack to become a somersault slash. Consumes 5/5/3/3 stamina per hit, can be used repeatedly. Using this BA after the 2nd hit of the Air Square combo will allow you to maintain enough height to use this BA continuously.
 * Dragonfly 【ドラゴンフライ】

Rising Edge
Creates oracle blades when using Rising Edge. Oracle blade hit 3 times from Rank III onwards.
 * Rising Fang 【ライジングファング】

Rising Edge action now charges for a short moment before becoming a powered-up version of the normal Rising Edge. Oracle blades hit 3 times from Rank III onwards.
 * Fatal Riser 【フェイタルライザー】

Allows a second use of Rising Edge. Combo can be done in this way : Rising Edge -> Aerial Step / Air Square attack -> Second Rise. Great way to damage and break parts out of reach. However when Second Rise is done, it cannot be cancelled into anything else so there is a huge window of vulnerability, so be careful when using.
 * Second Sunrise 【セカンドサンライズ】
