swordsman revelation smash

[Legato Bluesummers]

This one isn't very descriptive, am I breaking the guard with the B button or is it when the opponent is guarding you keep attacking and it plays that little animation where they step back a bit? I'm thinking its the latter but I'm not sure. Has anyone unlocked this?

[Ender Zayne]

It was one of the first revelations I unlocked, so my memory might be fuzzy. But I think it's a short window on the heat action. Just keep attacking guarding enemies until it procs.

The one I had trouble with getting to proc was the swordsman parry. For some reason, it never showed up on sword or unarmed enemies. Had to do it on a club wielder.

You can break their guard by parrying their attacks. Just hit L1 right before the attack hits and they'll stumble back. That's the easiest way to unlock this one by far.

What I did was perfect guard random dudes a dozen or so times, switch to Brawler, unarmed parry, switch to Swordsman, and wait for their attack to bounce off. That's how I got it.

EDIT: Cuthpaste typed faster >:(

yes this was it, took 1 minute of blocking random mobs on the street. the only thing I'll add is the heat action is not immediately after the break/deflect, it showed up when the anims were resetting about 1.5 seconds after the parry.

I have to say, this heat action is hilarious with the jelly blade. It goes wiggling all over the place.

Thanks, this is way easier than finding an enemy that blocks often.
