Sword Skills are activated when a player performs the appropriate «Pre-Motion» for a skill (such as raising a sword atop one's shoulder) and then allowing the program to take over and automatically complete the movement and combo at a speed that is normally near impossible for a player to achieve and dealing much more damage than a regular sword swing. After a skill is completed, the user is temporarily rendered rigid in a state called a «Post-Motion», in which the user is made vulnerable to any counter-attacks. The higher level the Sword Skill used was, the longer the «Post-Motion» period is. After a Sword Skill has been used, the skill enters a «Cooling» period, which is displayed as a cooling icon at the bottom of the player's view. Until this period ends, the same category of Sword Skill cannot be used, however, any other learned skills that are not in a cooling period can still be used.
The player's weapon typically glows in a color specific to a Sword Skill when the skill is activated. The amount of available Sword Skills and their type depends on the Weapon Skills that the player has trained.
Mechanics: Everyone starts with the four basic Sword Skills. For other Sword Skills, you gain them as your skills increase. However, these skills also have a cooldown cost and unless the technique is defensive in nature you may not parry or block in the same post as you use a sword skill. The number of strikes functions as a damage multiplier. So, for example, a 7 hit strike if you do +3 damage will do a total of 21 damage.
