Some Great Blade Arts (Patreon)

Figured I'd share these so far and see if anyone has any ideas for some. I need a lot of Arts on record, not only for Sam to learn in the future but for the next Boss battle, as it's against a certain former Great Blader. As you can see, the theme of the Great Blade is big attacks that don't do anything super fancy, and many of them have a draw back or are straight forward to the point of being predictable.

-

Biding BladeStamina Cost - ChargeableThe user stores up stamina energy in their big, hulking sword for as long as they want. The longer the Art is charged, the bigger the damage, but also the greater the cost on its user's stamina.

Hype StrikeStamina Cost - LowThe user shields themselves with their sword, and it absorbs the force of the attack. The next slash is powered up by a set amount.

Block StanceStamina Cost - LowUser focuses their mind and heightens their reflexes, making themselves enter a trance where they find their sword weighing less and where blocking their opponent's moves is easier. Useful in emergencies.

Power CycloneStamina Cost - MediumUser stores energy in their sword, which then propels them in circles creating a whirlwind of massive power. Disorients after use.

Sweeping CycloneStamina Cost - LowA much more reckless version of Power Cyclone. Instead of standing still in one spot, the user spins around the area like crazy without regard for their allies. Situational, but easier to use. Disorients after use.

Flat PressStamina Cost - MediumUser jumps into the air, stands on top of their sword and smashes down with their foot creating a powerful downward attack with the broadside of the sword.

Thrust BusterStamina Cost - MediumUser points the tip at an enemy, pours energy into their sword and blasts it backwards, shooting themselves in a straight line like a rocket.

Iron StormStamina Cost - HighA terrifying attack where the user unleashes a flurry of giant great blade strikes as if it were no big deal. Swinging so fast takes a heavy toll on the user's arms, but there are very few targets that can withstand such a devastating, rapid attack.

Breaker ForceStamina Cost - MediumA super powerful blunt strike that works especially well on any enemies who are shielded, have some sort of defense buff, or just have really thick skin. It renders the target's defenses void in most cases and makes them stunned.

Whirling CleaveStamina Cost - MediumThe user jumps into the air and flips at high speed, making them appear like a ball with a rotating blade poking out. Good for attacking bigger targets, as jumping toward them will land many cuts and give the user time to recover afterward.

Brave BladeStamina Cost - LowCreates a low impact but high speed, high knockback projectile slash. Mostly air, but still inflicts damage. It's useful for putting pressure on the opponent.

Slamming WaveStamina Cost - HighA big finisher where the user slams their great blade from overhead into the ground. Rends the earth and sends a shockwave in a straight line.
