Stonebreaker Slash
Raise the shield to protect the body while stabbing the ground with the sword to deal Physical Damage, then dash forward slightly and pull the sword out for an upward strike, scattering rocks and dealing Physical Damage. Block attacks from the front while holding the shield. Perfect Block can be triggered during the shield-raising period after Stonebreaker Slash's wind-up animation. After a successful Perfect Block, your dash can slightly knock back enemies.
Stonebreaker Slash has a shorter base cooldown in trio mode.
