Dark Split-Sword GUIDE

Understand Dark Split-Sword

Useful when…

  • Apply a Dual Melee stance to use the described split configuration.
  • Refer to the separate normal, slam, and heavy slam entries when reviewing its listed attack properties.

Forms and stance condition

The description identifies a heavy-sword form and a split form that requires a Dual Melee stance. The listed attack entries do not specify which form they describe, and no separate form-specific attack profiles are provided.

Normal Attack

The Normal Attack entry lists speed 0.917, 15% critical chance, a 2× critical multiplier, and 25% status chance. It lists 52 Slash, 78 Puncture, and 100 Radiation damage.

Slam attacks

Slam Attack lists 460 Impact damage, 10% status chance, and an area attack with falloff ending at 8 and 50% reduction. Heavy Slam Attack lists 690 Blast damage, 10% status chance, and an area attack with falloff ending at 9 and 30% reduction. These are separate attack entries.

Limitations and tradeoffs

  • The split form requires a Dual Melee stance.
  • The attack entries do not identify which weapon form they describe.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Do not assign the listed attack values to a specific form without supporting information.
  • Do not combine the Slam Attack and Heavy Slam Attack values.
