What these Honor's Edge perks do

Relentless Strikes

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

Surrounded

Being within 15 meters of 3 Enemies grants 40% increased damage. Buff lingers for 1.5 seconds once the condition is no longer met. Exceptions: • Swords only receive a 35% damage increase. • Grenade and Rocket Launchers receive a 35% Explosive Damage increase and a 40% Impact Damage increase. • Wolfpack Rounds receive a 35% Explosive Damage increase.

En Garde

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

Tireless Blade

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

Shattering Blade

Grants 67% increased damage for Grounded Heavy Attacks that consume all remaining ammo.

Energy Transfer

Every point of damage taken while Guarding grants Class Ability Energy: • 1.5% when Melee Damage is Blocked • 1% when non-Melee Damage is Blocked • 0.5% when damage isn't Blocked (getting hit from behind) Ability energy gained may be significantly decreased based on your selected ability's Chunk Energy Scalar.
