Hired Killer

You can walk into any domain and avoid most sure-hits (Shrine slashes still land at 70% less damage), but casters deal much more damage and you cannot freely leave.

Each press swaps your weapon in the order Split Soul Katana, Inverted Spear of Heaven, Chain of a Thousand Miles; hold block to cycle back. Switching briefly puts M1s on cooldown.

With the katana, your M1 string is 3 hits with the same total damage as the usual 4. Your front dash spins the katana upward to launch nearby enemies.

Spins the katana, then makes a sudden slash. On a hit, time slows for a moment, the target is knocked back and both of you gain melee i-frames.

During the slowdown, using Flourish again rushes the target with three slashes, knocking them away on the last. If the first slash misses, the rest do not follow.

During the slowdown, the special switches you to the Inverted Spear of Heaven and kicks the dazed target airborne, followed by several slashes that ground them. You keep the spear.

During the slowdown, blocking switches you to the Chain of a Thousand Miles to grab the dazed target, lift them and slam them down. You keep the chain.

A kick that, on a hit, leads into a dash and a vertical katana swing that launches the enemy; you then chase and slam them down. Faster after a side dash.

You can walk into any domain and avoid most sure-hits (Shrine slashes still land at 70% less damage), but casters deal much more damage and you cannot freely leave.

Each press stores the spear and draws the next weapon in the cycle; hold block to cycle back. After certain moves, the switch has an instant windup.

With the spear, your first M1 is slightly faster but 7 studs long instead of 8, and blocking has a smaller angle. M1 string: 14 (3 + 3 + 4 + 4).

You crouch to prepare a flash strike. Press the move again to step forward and strike; otherwise you just stand back up.

In the air, you perform the strike immediately without needing a second input.

Pressing the special during the crouch makes you dash the same way without striking, sparing you endlag. This fakeout is disabled in the air.

Using Rupture right after reappearing from Ascend skips straight to its horizontal swing and its quick-time event.

You lunge with the spear down, lift the target and catch them with an unblockable swing. A well-timed second press in the quick-time event adds an unblockable stab that launches them.

If you miss the timing of the second press, the opponent blocks the hit and pushes you away.

Pressing the special during the windup skips the horizontal swing even after you meet an opponent.

Holding the special during the windup throws the spear up; it spins back over 2 seconds, letting you move, switch tools or use another tool's skill meanwhile.

You can walk into any domain and avoid most sure-hits (Shrine slashes still land at 70% less damage), but casters deal much more damage and you cannot freely leave.

Each press stores the chain and draws the next weapon in the cycle; hold block to cycle back. After certain moves, the switch has an instant windup.

With the chain, M1s are slightly slower but reach 9 studs, and the final M1 spins the chain all around. Dashes hurl the chain 15 studs to slam the ground, unblockable.

Sends one end of the chain to latch onto a target up to 24 studs away, tugs them in and kicks them back. It can also snatch throwables and launch them.

Lifts the chain and slams it into the ground, bouncing enemies from a distance.

After Whiplash you twirl the chain for 1.5 seconds. Using the move again then rushes forward and spins to smack enemies away, and the special's windup is sped up.

Because the character is incomplete, awakening only heals you for 50 HP and refreshes all cooldowns.
