How to Play Nameless Sword

Use Charged Attacks to Attack From Afar

Your charged attacks can be used from a distance to unleash a qi wave. This hits all enemies that's on the blade's trajectory which makes it a great ranged attack against single enemies and mob groups alike.

Close the Gap With Daunting Strike

Daunting Strike's first use lets you dash forward and close the gap immediately against foes. Use this to approach your target swiftly while also launching a combo for heavy damage.

Recast Up to Two Times For Follow Up Slashes

Aside from the initial gap closing ability, the skill can also be recast up to two times to unleash two more follow up attacks that can deal decent damage.

Use Shadow Step to Disengage

Shadow Step is a great disengage tool that also damages enemies nearby in the process. It also unleashes several waves that bounces between enemies.

Recast to Re-engage

Shadow Step can also be recast to jump back into the fray and use Sword - Dash.

Best Weapon Combination

Pair With Nameless Spear

Weapon Explanation
Nameless SpearNameless Spear ・ Nameless Spear lets you use a more commited weapon for combat instead of a mobility focused one
・ Nameless Spear can give buffs that restore endurance which the Nameless Sword uses a lot
・ Nameless Spear gives you options for disables which the pure DPS Nameless Sword can do.

The Nameless Spear is one of the better weapons to pair with the Nameless Sword. Unlike the Nameless Sword that focuses on navigating and moving around the battlefield, the Nameless Spear focuses on a full-on commited playstyle that stays on the field and uses several damage options to dish out its damage.

The Nameless Sword adds a utility option while the Nameless Spear doubles down on DPS and makes swapping between two weapons fill each other's weakness.
