Weapon Aspects

01

Aspect of Melinoë

Rank bonuses Backstab damage

I +0% · II +40% · III +60% · IV +80% · V +100%

How it works

Attack and Special deal substantially more damage from behind. The Aspect keeps the original move set and turns movement and enemy facing into the main source of damage.

How to play it

Dash through enemies before starting the Attack chain, and use Cast to stop them from turning. Against bosses, wait for committed animations and punish from the rear rather than trading hits from the front.

02

Aspect of Artemis

Rank bonuses Omega Attack speed

I +20% · II +30% · III +40% · IV +50% · V +60%

How it works

Holding Omega Attack can periodically parry an incoming hit. A successful parry creates an immediate counterattack window, while rank makes the Omega charge much faster.

How to play it

Do not hold the parry indefinitely. Begin charging just before a telegraphed strike, absorb it, then release the empowered counter. Omega Attack damage and Magick recovery are the most consistent build priorities.

03

Aspect of Pan

Rank bonuses Maximum Omega Special shots

I +1 · II +2 · III +3 · IV +4 · V +5

How it works

Special blades seek enemies standing in your Cast, and Omega Special can release additional blades. It converts Cast placement into reliable concentrated ranged damage.

How to play it

Cast under the priority target before charging Omega Special. Increase Cast size or duration to keep mobile enemies eligible, then stack Special damage and on-hit effects that benefit from the larger volley.

04

Aspect of the Morrigan

Rank bonuses Blood Triad finishing damage

I 333 · II 444 · III 555 · IV 666 · V 777

How it works

The move set gains a three-part Blood Triad ritual. Completing its required sequence unleashes a very large finishing hit instead of relying on ordinary repeated slashes.

How to play it

Learn the ritual order and prepare it on weaker enemies before carrying the finisher into an elite. Avoid frantic input: complete one step at a time, use Cast for safety, and prioritize bonuses that amplify the final hit.

How the weapon plays

The Blades reward precise positioning and short, decisive attack windows. Dash through a target, strike from behind, then disengage with Special while waiting for another opening. Their fast hit rate applies status effects quickly, but the short Attack range makes Cast control and defensive movement especially valuable.
