Best Backhand Blade Ash of War | |
---|---|
Ash of War: Blind Spot | Ash of War: Swift Slash |
The best Ashes of War to infuse the Backhand Blade with are Blind Spot and Swift Slash.
Blind Spot works well against single enemies and bosses as it allows you to reposition behind the target, which can also dodge attacks, and follow up with a quick stab. This can be chained with your attack combos in case the target performs a frontal attack that you need to immediately dodge.
Swift Slash, on the other hand, is best against mobs as it can shred through groups while giving you i-frames. You can either charge it for stronger slashes or simply spam the skill if you have a sizeable amount of FP.
