6s hello and welcome to another nraa 101
8s tutorial I'm Cyclops KD and today's
10s video will cover everything you need to
12s know to get started with the hung swword
14s this stylish new weapon utilizes quick
15s and deadly Focus attacks and introduces
18s a unique mechanic that provides infinite
19s mixup potential and heavy skill
21s expression but first let's start with
23s the basics we have the horizontal
29s string
31s and the vertical
36s string you can interchange the
38s horizontal and vertical attacks in the
40s string however you'd
44s like then we have the Crouch
49s horizontal and the Crouch
53s vertical the Crouch vertical can be
56s confirmed from a neutral
59s horizontal
63s next is Jump horizontal and attack with
65s heavy tracking
67s properties and jump
70s vertical next are the charged Focus
72s attacks starting with charged horizontal
74s a forward lunging blue Focus stab attack
77s then we have the charge vertical a two
79s hit blue Focus attack that can be
81s charged to the second stage for extra
83s damage after a charge vertical
85s horizontal will initiate a blue Focus
87s attack called lethal jab charged
89s horizontal gives us access to the hungs
91s sword's unique mechanic known as Shadow
93s step this is performed by inputting a
95s vertical attack either before our charge
97s horizontal lands or directly after our
99s charge horizontal connects with the
100s Enemy Shadow step allows us to cancel a
103s blue Focus attack with the option for a
105s horizontal basic attack a vertical blue
107s Focus attack or we can Dodge out of it
110s to create space you can even use
113s horizontal to directly cancel your
114s charged horizontal before using Shadow
116s step lethal jab has access to Shadow
119s step and and can be canceled with
121s another
123s horizontal learning how to effectively
125s use Shadow step is key to mastering this
127s weapon let's take a look at the hung
129s swword Soul Jade starting with Aurora
131s burst which changes the second stage
133s vertical to an awesome new attack that
134s does a ton of
136s damage Rampage changes your charge
139s horizontal from the single stab attack
141s to a two-part blade spinning attack
143s Rampage also works on lethal
145s [Music]
149s Jab single-edged sword sap changes your
152s Parry attack from a three hit animation
154s to a single high damage attack that
156s grants a substantial
158s heal after you're comfortable with the
160s shadow step mechanic try this trick
162s while running charge a horizontal attack
165s release it then initiate a shadow step
167s Dodge forward Out of The Shadow step and
168s charge another horizontal initiate
170s Shadow step again and
172s repeat this trick can help you cover
174s large distances quickly without draining
176s much of your stamina utilize this tactic
178s when you're in trouble on the
179s battlefield much like the katana the
181s Kung swword has a high skill ceiling for
183s comboing and familiarizing herself with
185s how it feels to combo with this blade
186s will take plenty of time and practice
188s but today we'll go over a couple of core
190s starter combos that don't take much
191s practice to get the hang of first we
194s have the jump horizontal
196s combo we'll start off with a horizontal
198s and a Crouch vertical then follow up
200s with a delayed aerial horizontal before
203s we land make sure to hold forward
205s directional movement after the uppercut
207s to keep your character facing the right
208s direction if you don't hold forward
210s Direction it might do something like
212s this you know you did it correctly when
214s you get both hits on the enemy in the
216s air after that we can land jump and do
219s another aerial horizontal finally if our
222s timing is good we can land a third
224s aerial horizontal in a row as the enemy
226s hits the
227s ground next we have the classic grapple
232s combo start with a neutral horizontal
234s into Crouch vertical but cancel your
236s Crouch vertical animation after the hit
238s by immediately launching a grapp gra
240s under your
242s enemy start holding vertical charge
245s after you shoot the grapple but before
247s you bump into your enemy and release
248s your vertical charge after you bump into
250s them this simple combo may take a little
252s getting used to but it is one of the
254s most optimal combos in many
256s situations the hung swword can be
258s exceptionally deadly when relying on
260s Shadow step for mixing up your attacks
262s to constantly keep your opponent
263s guessing it creates a lot of pressure on
265s the opponent to react to the slow
266s attacks and predict the fast ones so
268s changing your attack patterns is a
270s essential in this example I'm looking to
272s open up my opponent with a horizontal
273s attack so I can go into a combo and I'll
275s be using shadowstep to help me land the
277s horizontal by faking a blue Focus attack
279s that my enemy will want to Parry and
282s punishing him with a soft cancel into a
284s combo Shadow step is incredibly strong
286s and should be taken advantage of there's
289s incredible potential still locked inside
291s this weapon only time will tell what all
293s it is truly capable of and now you
294s should have everything you need to get
296s started on mastering the hung swword I
298s hope you enjoyed this weapon guide I'm
300s Cyclops KD and I'll see you all in the
302s next
