This weapon has a unique, multi hit, dancing R2 that consists of a double slash. The animation of these R2s blend very smoothly into and out of the Ashes of War Spinning Slash and Sword Dance. The wind up on the charged R2 is strikingly similar to the wind up on Sword dance and could make other players roll preemptively.
This weapon benefits from the Dancer's Set bonus.
