  Tachikaze 

  Black katana of a prodigy swordsman. Extremely high dexterity scaling, and is buffable.

  Unique Form - Iai

  While one-handed, the blade is sheathed at your waist.

  Attacking will unsheathe your blade at a blinding speed, automatically switching you to a ready stance.

  This is iai; the art of drawing the sword.

  In both forms, tapping the Heavy Attack button executes a parry. (Exact same katana parry timing as DS3)

  Hold down the button to execute a strong attack.

  Some moves allow you to instantly mixup into iai Skill attacks.

  Backstep + Hold L2 + R1/R2

  4th Light Attack + Hold L2 + R1/R2

  Playing Flute + Hold L2 + R1/R2

  Unique Feature - Flute

  While two-handing, hold down L1 to pull out your flute, and play a tune to accompany you on your travels.

  While playing, press R1 to boost damage negation by 7% for yourself and allies for 15 seconds.

  Or press R2 to boost physical attack by 7% for yourself and allies for 15 seconds.

  These buffs cannot both be applied at the same time.

  Unique Skill - Closed Heart, Singing Blade

  While Sheathed:

  Bow towards your opponent and close your heart to emotion. Your next attack will do extremely heightened damage.

  While Unsheathed:

  Hold L2 to sheathe your blade and enter a holding stance.

  From this stance:

  Light attack to dash forward and draw a cruciform cut in the blink of an eye.

  Heavy attack to launch forward and unleash an impossibly fast storm of cuts.

  Press R2 again to release your blade with an unstoppable forward slash.
