Cursed Sword, also known as Suncatcher is Executor's skill that allows for enhanced parries against targets. Learn what Cursed Sword does, how to charge and execute the skill here!
What Does Cursed Sword Do?
Parry or Block Attacks
Cursed Sword allows the user to enter a parry stance, allowing you to parry like in Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. Press the skill button to draw the Cursed Sword and enter the stance.
The player can then use this blade to attack, block or parry attacks, with perfect parries allowing for poise breaks and attack openings for execution. The blade will glow after around three parried hits.
Charge Blade to Counterattack
Once the blade is fully charged, the Executioner can do a powerful dash attack dealing massive poise and holy damage to any enemy along the dash.
Take note that using the counterattack skill resets the parry count to zero. Time your parries and switches to maximize the skill's utility and damage.
Becomes Suncatcher After Remembrance
The attack changes name to Suncatcher after completing Executioner's Remembrance Quest with this being the only skill in the game that changes name. The skill itself has no noticeable change, buffs or nerfs after the Remembrance's completion.
