葦の地の剣客の、禁じられた奥義
自らの腹を深く刺し、刃を血で染め
攻撃力と、出血の状態異常効果を高める

Acquisition

• Can be granted to any infusable sword, polearm capable of thrusting, or Thrusting Shield (except for Daggers, Throwing Blades, Backhand Blades, and Colossal Swords) with the Ash of War: Seppuku.

Effect

Thrust the weapon into the wielder's stomach, dealing damage equal to (15% of wielder's maximum HP + 100) and granting a Weapon Buff that lasts for 60 seconds and adds 30 Physical Attack Power and 30 base Blood Loss build-up.

Frame data

The entire skill takes 121 frames/4.03 seconds to perform.

Notes

• Costs HP equal to (15% of the wielder's maximum HP + 100).
• Costs 4 points of FP to perform.
• Costs an unknown amount of points of Stamina to perform.
• The Weapon Buff's base Physical Attack Power and base Blood Loss build-up scales with the weapon's Arcane-scaling.
  • As most weapons don't have any Arcane-scaling, generally only weapons with a Poison, Blood, or Occult Affinity will scale the build-up of the Weapon Buff.
    • At maximum upgrade level a Poison or Blood Affinity and 30 or 45 Arcane grants the Weapon Buff 36 Attack Power build-up or 39 Attack Power and build-up respectively, while an Occult Affinity grants the Weapon Buff varying amounts of build-up depending on the scaling: a B-scaling grants 47 to 57 Attack Power and build-up at 45 Arcane and 55 to 68 Attack Power and build-up at 80 Arcane, and an A-scaling grants 57 to 63 Attack Power and build-up at 45 Arcane and 68 to 78 Attack Power and build-up build-up at 80 Arcane.
• The self-bleed of the Buff is inflicted through a self-targeted effect that inflicts 9999 Blood Loss build-up on the user.
• The added Blood Loss stacks with any Blood Loss already on the buffed weapon, whether granted by the Blood Affinity or innate (including innate Blood Loss increased by the Occult Affinity).
• The Mimic Tear will re-use this skill frequently, making it quickly remove all of its own health if the Tarnished had a weapon with this Skill equipped upon entering the fight.

Patch Notes

Patch	Official notes	Community Notes
1.07	(Downward adjustment): Increased damage taken upon activation. Reduced the bleed status buildup effect granted to weapons.	Increased the self-damage taken upon activation from (10% of wielder's maximum HP) to (15% of wielder's maximum HP + 100). The latter amount is the same as a regular Blood Loss infliction. Reduced the added base Blood Loss build-up from 84 to 30. The old base Blood Loss build-up amount could add between 190 and 217 Blood Loss build-up for an Occult Affinity weapon with A-scaling in Arcane at 80 Arcane.
1.05	(Bug fix): Fixed a bug that caused damage to allies when using the "Seppuku" skill under certain circumstances.	The bug would cause the continuous effect from things such as the Deathbed Dress's healing aura, the Skill: Holy Ground, and the Sorcery Terra Magica to also cause damage to nearby allies as long as the Weapon Buff remains active.
1.05	(Bug fix): Fixed a bug that caused the increase in attack power of the "Seppuku" skill to be higher than expected for some attack motions.	-

Trivia

• Used by Inaba, Disciple of Okina.
• "Seppuku" is a method of traditional Japanese self-embowelement.
  • Fittingly, the skill is associated with the Land of Reeds, which appears to be the in-game equivalent of feudal Japan.
