SWING

Attack Type: Standard
This swing deals more damage than the average attack but is also less accurate.

say As you can see from the ability file it is a standard attack, which means it can be used any time regardless of stance. Swing in particular does more damage at a cost of accuracy.

You say, "I'll disable my bleeding there, but as you can see it's a very powerful combo."
[H: 351 M: 305 -eblrg-]
Kitai says, "This combination starts off with doing Rend. This will cause some bleeding damage along with putting me into the Rend stance. After this I continue with a Hack, an ability that does more damage if your target is having low health, which means it's a great finisher. But of course, it will also add a bit more bleeding due to the stance."
[H: 351 M: 305 -eblrg-]
Kitai says, "To finish the first rotation, I did a Backhand. This beauty is a closer that will improve the bonus of the stance you're in. So as I was in the Rend stance, I did a lot more bleeding damage."
[H: 351 M: 305 -eblrg-]
Kitai says, "For the next rotation I do the same as before, which was Rend and then Hack. But to top it off this time we do something called Twist. When you're in the Rend stance, it will enhance the damage done if the opponent is bleeding a lot already."
[H: 351 M: 305 -eblrg-]
say As you can see that twist hit me pretty hard, and the extra damage was treated as bleeding, the observant will probably be able to guess the relationship between how much I'm bleeding and how much the rend-twist hit me for extra.

You say, "I'll disable my bleeding there, but as you can see it's a very powerful combo."
[H: 351 M: 305 -eblrg-]
Kitai says, "This combination starts off with doing Rend. This will cause some bleeding damage along with putting me into the Rend stance. After this I continue with a Hack, an ability that does more damage if your target is having low health, which means it's a great finisher. But of course, it will also add a bit more bleeding due to the stance."
[H: 351 M: 305 -eblrg-]
Kitai says, "To finish the first rotation, I did a Backhand. This beauty is a closer that will improve the bonus of the stance you're in. So as I was in the Rend stance, I did a lot more bleeding damage."
[H: 351 M: 305 -eblrg-]
Kitai says, "For the next rotation I do the same as before, which was Rend and then Hack. But to top it off this time we do something called Twist. When you're in the Rend stance, it will enhance the damage done if the opponent is bleeding a lot already."
[H: 351 M: 305 -eblrg-]
say As you can see that twist hit me pretty hard, and the extra damage was treated as bleeding, the observant will probably be able to guess the relationship between how much I'm bleeding and how much the rend-twist hit me for extra.
