Notes[edit | edit source]

Leading Blade can be used as a traversing move, allowing users to dash from point A to point B.
- The attack speed will effect its distance it travels to.

Bugs[edit | edit source]

The dash in Leading Blade has an extreme amount of momentum, and will most likely cause the user to zoom by their intended target(s).
