Using your Class Ability (even while the weapon is stowed) grants you 'Slice' for 8 seconds. While 'Slice' is active, damaging non-Severed targets Severs them, grants a stack of Slice, and refreshes the buff duration. (Hitting immune targets also triggers this.) Reaching 5 stacks immediately removes the buff. If the Severing hit kills the target, the perk will not trigger and you will not gain a stack.

Your first Powered Sword Kill after (re)spawning refunds 1 Ammo. Afterward, every other Powered Sword Kill also refunds 1 Ammo.

Collecting an Orb of Power grants 1 Stack of Lead from Light. Maximum of 5 Stacks. Weapon Kills consume one stack to grant 25% increased Special Ammo generation progress for that kill.

Taking damage while Guarding emits a blast in a wide, 8? meter long wide cone in front of you. The blast disorients enemies hit by it for 5 seconds and deals weapon-matching elemental damage. The damage scales up from 75 [14] damage at point-blank range to the maximum of 110 [45] damage after ? meters. The strength of the disorientation against Players similarly also scales up with distance. 2.5 second cooldown between activations.

Scoring 3 Powered Hits within 2? seconds of each refunds 1 ammo. Wolfpack Round Hits do not count.

Scoring 3 Powered Sword Hits within 1.5? seconds of each grants 5% of Special Ammo reserves. Equipping two Special Weapons halves the amount of ammo granted to 2.5% for each one.

Sword Kills grant 60 Guard Resistance, Guard Endurance, and (Guard) Charge Rate. Buff is removed on stow.

Dealing Elemental Damage grants a stack of Elemental Honing for 20 seconds for each unique Element used. Maximum of 5 stacks. Gaining a stack refreshes the buff duration. Duration cannot be refreshed once at 5 stacks. Buff can be activated while stowed. Kinetic Damage does not trigger the buff. Weapon damage increase at 1|2|3|4|5 stacks by weapon damage type: • Kinetic: 10%|20%|30%|35%|40% • Elemental (PVE): 2.5%|10%|20%|30%|35% • Elemental (PVP): 1.25%|5%|20%|30%|35%

Readying the Sword grants 30% increased damage for 1.5 seconds. 2? second cooldown after the buff expires.
