|
You are skilled with long thrusting and slashing blades. |
Long Blade is the base skill for the Long Blade skill tree. It is one of the few skill trees that require multiple stats instead of just one. It is also one of the more Skill Point heavy trees to fully invest in, costing 1300 SP in total. On critical hits, long blade attacks gain +2 PV, even if that would exceed their penetration cap.
Tips
- The base long blade skill is one of the most beneficial skills to have for ranged characters due to having a flat bonus to DV when holding one in hand. This is the only weapon skill that has passive effect that affects things outside of melee combat.
