Enemy within 3 blocks in front

Six cuts (×0.35 each) that hold the target, then a final cut (×0.9) that sends it flying. 0.5 s later all six cuts open again on the body for ×0.6 more.

Otherwise

A ghost-sword wave (×0.8) travels 8 blocks, stops on the first body and interrupts it.

Riposte

The final cut breaks the guard for 2 s.

Unlocked by the quest The Patient Blade.
