Acquisition

• Innate Skill of the Curseblade's Cirque.

Effect

The user ducks low to the ground and then leaps into the air with their body curled up like a ball. Afterwards, the user unfolds and performs a violent spinning attack with both cirques as their body contorts sideways, tearing into opponents and hitting 4 times. Each hit deals 75% weapon Attack Power, adding up to a total of 300% weapon Attack Power.

Following up with an additional input has the user leap up into the air once more, and then descend with a powerful axe-kick that deals 148% weapon Strike Attack Power.

If performing without the sufficient FP or stat requirements, each hit of the spinning attack deals only 38% weapon Attack Power (adding up to a total of 152%), and the axe-kick follow-up deals only 50% weapon Strike Attack Power.
