Tips and Details

• Protector's Sword stacks last indefinitely, and are removed upon reaching 5 stacks. The Holy Sword summoned after this does not have its own buff icon, making it hard to tell its duration and consequent cooldown.
  • You are capable of stacking the Protector's Sword effect again even while the Holy Sword is still active or on cooldown. Once the Holy Sword's cooldown then expires, it will immediately be summoned if you are at 5 Protector's Sword stacks, so you do not first have to wait out the 30 seconds to then cast another 5 skills.
• The cooldown of the Holy Sword will not start until its duration has ended.
• The Holy Sword will only ever use Relentless Attack as long as enemies are directly next to Elesis, roughly within a character model's distance away, including above you. If no enemies are within that range, but are still visible on screen, it will instead use Fast Attack.
  • The Fast Attack has incredibly high forward range, capable of clearing long horizontal rooms with ease, such as in Dark Elves' Outpost. Spacing yourself to ensure it triggers instead of Relentless Attack can help significantly.
  • Conversely, the Relentless Attack has excellent vertical reach, hitting two platforms above and below you. However, as it requires an enemy very close to you, triggering it to hit enemies above or below you may not always be possible.
• Over the course of its duration, the Holy Sword will attack a total of 9 times (29 after the 10/28/2021 Korean Patch) as long as enemies are within reach to trigger either of its two attacks.
  • The sword will initially wait for the duration of its attack delay when it is summoned, dealing one less hit than expected in the process.
• Double Attack Chance Increase is additive.
