Swords

Icon	Name	Stat	Lv.1	Obtain List	Description	Notes
	Spiral Edge スパイラルエッジ	Power PP	700 25	?	A Sword Photon Art. Perform an ascending slash as you spin. Charging increases the Photon Art's damage.	The more you charge this, the more vertical slashes are performed.
	Twist Zapper ツイストザッパー	Power PP	670 28	?	A Sword Photon Art. Perform a spinning attack towards the enemy. Charging increases the number of spins and attacks.	Does several horizontal slashes that hit targets around you. Allows for horizontal movement.
	Streak Calibur ストリークキャリバー	Power PP	3200 35	?	A Sword Photon Art. Continuous activation allows for up to 3 powerful slashes. Charging individual slashes makes them linger, dealing additional hits of damage.	Activate the PA again right after the previous slash to chain the next slash. Charging the PA leaves a lingering field from where the slash is performed, doing additional damage over time.
	Guard (Weapon Action)	-	-	?	?	While the Weapon Action button is held, you guard with your Sword, reducing damage taken from the front. If you guard right before you take damage, you will perform a Just Guard and negate the damage completely.

	Thousand Blows サウザンドブロウ	Power PP	1100 32	?	A Knuckle Photon Art. Barrage the enemy with countless punches, and finish with a single powerful strike.	The final strike is an uppercut with a delay before it. This delay allows you to move towards your target.
