Affected By Action Speed

This skill is heavily affected by action speed, drastically reducing its hit count at higher amounts. With 0% attack speed, the maximum hit count is 9, while at 20% it drops down to just 7 hits, and further with more action speed.
- Blood Hit assumes a consistent hit count for its HP consumption and will not be affected by this issue.
The double attack chance stacks with other equipment/set effects/Random Mission that gives double attack chance.
While the buff is active, a dark aura will surround Elesis' claymore.
- The border of the aura changes from red to a deep pink color when re-using the skill.
This skill works extremely well combined with Actives like Dark Wave, as well as the combo, due to the large number of hits.
This skill will miss a hit in Free Training.

Normal and Reused appearance of the dark aura surrounding Elesis' Claymore while the skill is active.

Compared to the other sword aura skills on Empire Sword (Sword of Victory) and Flame Lord (Infernal Blade), this aura is a Tenacity skill instead. This path does have a similar Bravery aura in the form of Blood Falls, but that blade cannot be used after the skill.
