Overview

The Charge Blade is a technical weapon that switches between Sword and Shield mode for charging phials and Axe mode for unleashing devastating Super Amped Element Discharges (SAED). Guard Points provide counter opportunities that flow into powerful attacks. Condensed Element Slash and Axe Hopper Silkbind moves enhance both playstyles.
