Quick Slash

Usefulness

Quick Slash increases the attacking speed of The Knight by 54%, increasing total damage output while slashing with the nail by the same amount. This charm is more effective than Fragile Strength in most situations, as it not only increases the rate at which the nail deals damage, but also how quickly it accumulates SOUL. However, if Quick Slash's bonus is not enough to permit an extra nail swing, it will essentially have no effect beyond comfort.

How to Acquire

Kingdom's Edge, upon a massive anvil in a hidden room in front of a massive corpse known in the game files as "Ancient Nailsmith".
