📋 About This Mod

Version 1. 15: Abilities are now unlocked at the skill tree stone at the home. Simply place the sword and/or sheath into the crystal receptacles to see the abilities. There are cross-path abilities between the sword and sheath and between the sheath and Mirage Edge.

Full list of abilities and how to activate them:

Mirage Blades: Press alternate use (thumb pad for Index, spell wheel everywhere else) while holding the sheath to shoot out Mirage Blades.

- Spiral Blades: Hold down alternate use without moving the sheath to shoot out 8 blades in a circle around you.

- Blistering Blades: Hold down alternate use while pushing the sheath away from you to shoot out 8 blades towards an enemy.

- Storm Blades: Hold down alternate use while pulling the sheath towards you to surround an enemy with 8 blades.

- Heavy Rain Blades: Hold down alternate use while moving the sheath to the side to randomly rain down 25 blades above an enemy.

Dash: Press trigger while holding the sheath to dash forwards and phase through objects, enemies, and walls.

Sword Beam: While holding down trigger on the sword, swing to release a large beam that can damage and dismember enemies. Hold down alternate use while firing to use Anime Slice with the beam.

Judgement Cut: Sheathe then immediately unsheathe (+ hold down trigger with Sheath Framework) the Yamato to dismember all limbs in a small area where you're looking.

Judgement Cut End: Unsheathe the Yamato while holding down both trigger and alternate use on the sword hand to activate, then sheathe to dismember all enemies that are in the level.

Anime Slice: Hold down alternate use on the sword and slice through enemies, then sheathe to dismember any limbs you cut through.
