That Nail Art, the Dash Slash... learnt from my brother Oro, was it not?

So he is still alive then. Hm. I still haven't forgotten what he owes me and I never will. Oh, I'm sorry. I shouldn't bother you with such things. I'm happy that you were able to train under another Nailmaster and grow stronger, my pupil.

Dash Slash is the Nail Art taught to the Knight by Nailmaster Oro. By holding ATTACK until fully charged, then releasing while dashing with Mothwing Cloak or the Shade Cloak, the Knight releases a long-ranged melee attack at the end of the dash, extending far in front of them as well as roughly two-thirds as far behind them.

While being hit by an enemy during the dash animation cancels the attack, it is possible to execute a Dash Slash when using the Shade Cloak to dash through an enemy, striking the enemy with the backward hitbox of the Nail Art. In conjunction with the Sharp Shadow, Dashmaster, and Nailmaster's Glory Charms (filling a total of 5 Notches), a Dash Slash executed through the enemy can deal a combined total of 4x (1.5x+2.5x) Nail damage in <2 seconds.

How To Perform

Hold ATTACK until fully charged, then release during the execution of a DASH. Deals 2.5 x Nail damage.
