Tips and Details

  • The Summon Attack covers 180 degrees around you but has a much further reach behind than in front.
  • Phantom Sword's additional hits will trigger attribute effects and can gain MP but only at 50% effectiveness compared to normal attacks.
    • The additional hits also contribute to the Awakening Gauge at full effectiveness but do not add to the Knockdown counter.
  • Phantom Sword only applies to normal attacks. Actives (except Compact Counter's second hit) and Special Actives are unaffected.
    • It will still follow the animations of all of Elsword's attacks during said skills, but this is purely visual.
  • The increase in Critical Damage from [Enhanced] is multiplicative, not additive.
  • Critical Increase is normalized.
  • Skill Damage Increase effects and the Empowered skill trait will only affect this skill's summoning damage.
  • Phantom Sword has another unlisted hit before the Summon Attack that has a much smaller range and does ~181.8% (76.3% in PvP). Unlike the Summon Attack, this hit will not reach behind him.
  • If the initial attack hits a target, everything in range will be stopped for a while, similarly to how the old Devastating Strike worked.
