Overview

• Possesses masterful control over aerial combat and mobility, rivaling Jet Boots.
• Makes full use of Twin Daggers' deceptively low S-ATK stat by striking hard and striking often, racking up damage quickly with its best Arts.
• Fairly safe to use due to height advantage and Just Guard/invulnerability on specific Arts.
• Relies heavily on Tech Arts and Gear Lv. 3 for maximum power.
• Somewhat more advanced to learn than most weapons.

Custom Type 1	Power +0~35%
Custom Type 2	PP +0~+10

• Moves towards the target in the same way and speed as the regular version of the PA.
• While the base attack power of the crafted version is lower than the regular version, if the craft has Power +20% or higher, it will be stronger than the regular version.
• Unlike regular Raging Waltz and Symphonic Drive, will not move you away from the target after the attack.
• Once the enemy is hit, directional movement inputs will change the behavior of the PA:
  • No movement: Does nothing and the JA ring occurs instantly.
  • Forwards: Does an uppercut identical to the one used in the regular version of the PA, but doesn't launches enemies upwards.
  • Backwards: Does a backflip that has brief invincibility frames.
  • Sideways: Does a side flip that has brief invincibility frames. If the target is locked on, spins around the target.
• Due to the fast execution when there's no movement inputs and very fast enemy tracking, it might be suitable for mobbing, easily moving from one target to the next.
• The versatility and reduced pp cost from the craft can make it a viable competitor to Symphonic Drive, unlike the uncrafted version.

Boosting Potential	Jumping Waltz	Weapons with PA	Twin Filphuga, Twin Filphleo, Oboro Ver2

• Flies towards the target, then performs a 2 step kick that throws the target away and launches you slightly upwards and backwards.
  • If used while in the ground, will perform a jump first. If used in the air, starts moving instantly.
  • JA ring appears after the second kick.
  • Hitbox is based on the character's toes. Because of how the animation works (you move forwards when it connects, going "inside" the target if needed to), it is possible to hit weakspots that are currently hidden in some enemies, such as Caterdra'n or Zeshrayda.
  • The second kick will throw enemies away very fast, so it might cause issues with repositioning enemies in party play if you don't kill the target with it. Enemies immune to knockdown will not be launched.
• Tracks the target, behaving the same way as Raging Waltz, but is much stronger and much slower.
• If there are no valid targets, will move diagonally forward and downward.
• Increases gear by 1 after the 2nd hit.
• Has Just Guard at the moment the first kick hits (after the slight move forwads animation post connect).
• Does 2 hits.
  • Each hit does 50% of the noted power.

• Generally considered the best bossing PA, dealing great damage over time with good DPS and DPP.
• Trivia: The English patch sometimes calls this PA "Ooorchestraaa" or "Orchestraaa".

Boosting Potential	Bloody Flash	Weapons with PA	Twin Reaping

• Does 4 slashes, performs a backflip, does a slight charging, then follows with another 3 slashes, generating shockwaves to the front on each slash.
  • Does not actually charge the attack, it's just a delayed animation. Does not benefit from charge related skills.
• If used on the ground, cannot be cancelled by any means.
• If used in the air, can be cancelled by using the Weapon Action.
• Has the highest range both frontal and to the sides of any Twin Daggers PA.
• Has Just Guard during each of the initial 4 slashes, and then from the start of the charging animation to the end of the PA.
• Useful for mobbing, but has very poor DPS and DPP, so should be avoided when fighting bosses.

Facet Folia

Name	Description
Facet Folia ファセットフォリア	Twin Dagger photon art. Jumps the target, then slices them with attacks faster than the eye can follow.
	Drop Info	Level	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10	11	12	13	14	15	16	17

Boosting Potential	Lunatic Slasher	Weapons with PA	Sigma Janga

• Does a quick short range slash, then follows with 5 attacks, and finishes by instantly moving towards the target and doing a final uppercut.
  • The initial slash behaves for all intents and purposes as a basic attack. As such, the L / TD Air Chase ring works with this initial slash, effectively increasing its range if the target is locked on.
• If the first slash does not hit a valid target, the PA fails and does nothing else, simply wasting the PP.
• If the first slash connects to a valid target, does 5 slashes with a flashing animation where the character disappears.
• After the 5 follow up slashes are done, instantly moves towards the current target, even if it is not the same as the original target of the first slash.
  • However, there is a distance limit, which is about 2/3 that of Raging Waltz/Symphonic Drive.
• Increases gear by 1 after the final uppercut.
• Provides iframes that last from the end of the first slash until the start of the uppercut.
  • This is one of the only two Twin Daggers PA that offers iframes instead of Just Guard, the other being Raging Waltz Type-0. However, this one is a lot more reliable.
• Does 7 hits.
  • The first slash does 12% of the noted power, each of the follow up slash does 13%, and the final uppercut does 23%.
• Although the damage per hit is very good, the animation is slow, causing DPS to suffer. The 30 PP cost is also very prohibitive.
  • As such, this PA shouldn't be used for direct damage but, instead, for dodging long and/or multihit attacks that would be hard to avoid with just Weapon Action, while still dealing damage to the target. It can also be used to avoid attacks that ignore Just Guard.
  • Do keep in mind that the iframes only start after the first slash connects, so it's not instant.

Fall Nocturne

Name	Description
Fall Nocturne フォールノクターン	Twin Dagger photon art. Slices downwards at the enemy, damaging them should they follow you down to the ground as you cut them apart on impact.

Boosting Potential	-	Weapons with PA	-

• Dives straight towards the ground, slashing anything in the way until reaching the ground, then finishes with an extra 2 hits.
  • Does multiple instances of damage during the fall, raising its potential damage if used on a large enemy from a high altitude, allowing for multiple hits.
  • When reaching the ground, does 2 hits instantly.
• If used on the ground, will first do a small jump before falling back into the ground.
  • Doing this increases gear by 1 during the jump.
• The Just Attack ring appears during the entire falling animation, and stays until the end of the entire PA. However, making use of this JA ring before reaching the ground will cause the fast 2 final hits to not be used.
• Does 33% of the noted power per hit.
  • Does a minimum of 3 hits (1 from the fall, 2 from the landing) if it is not cancelled early (either by Weapon Action or making use of the early Just Attack ring).
• While this PA normally causes the loss of all gear (due to reaching the ground), if it is followed by any other PA before the JA ring disappears, gear is not lost. Quick March is a good follow up, as it allows you to gain some altitude back.
• Has Just Guard for the entire falling animation.
