Affected By Action Speed

You are able to use the input at any point during the dash. Inputting it at the same time as the skill will cause you to perform the slash on the spot, moving forward very minimally.
- If you do not input before the dash ends, the skill will go on cooldown without Elesis executing the Upward Slash.
- You can also activate the slash by pressing the key.
While the [Enhanced] effect in-game says you can only dash backwards before the input, you can actually use it afterwards as well, allowing you to retreat should you have missed.
Despite the visual animation of the slash, it is entirely unable to hit enemies on top of platforms.
- Even as Empire Sword with Sword of Victory, the skill only hits enemies almost directly above you and it has a relatively minimal effect on both the range in front and behind you.
