Blood Arts for Long Blade/Variant Scythe

[Jon]

Hi guys. Any suggestions what BAs to lookout for ? Thinking of playing mainly long blade and scythe and theres just too many BA to unlock. Would appreciate some advise as to what main BA skills are useful for both weapons.

Scythe - Turbulence [unlock by using normal attack, change your 4th combo to scythe spin ad infinitum. also cost no stamina!]. spin to win baby
Haven't touched long blade yet

For Long Blade go for Gale Blade, its the only blood art that can be used at end game without much issue, (Aragami get crazy fast.)

For Scythe get Mortal Divider, its hard to hit at first but its range will usually keep you at a safe distance. Plus its Black Blood Varient is probably one of the best in the game.

I found galestrike, not gale blade

for long blade I love use Halcyon Blade, this is the coolest BA IMO, the damage pretty hard but each hit use stamina
for scyte I love savage blitz, extend mode wannabe

Thanks for the reply, will work towards to get them and test them out.

Also, a suggestion for scythe, get a nice gun that you're comfy with. Scythe's extend form generates a crazy amount of oracle very quickly (particularly the round blade strike), and I find that the scythe allows me to absolutely wreck fleshy-type aragami simply by round blade-ing forever.

For the larger/heavier armored aragami, I suggest getting comfortable with something with pierce/crush, as they usually have a weakness to both, at least on one body part or another.

That being said, I wish I found the buster blade more fluid to fight with, because I would love to just use that for my slash/crush and just use a gun for pierce to cover my bond break bases, but alas. qq.

Go with Impulse Edge [Rapid Fire] for Blades. It's so broken.

Used to hate Scythes untill my char learned God Slicer (Round Fang). Lets you attack aragami from far even if they are flying

Got Execution unlocked for my scythe. Trying out buster right now. Would CC breaker or boosted be a better choice ?

Mortal divide for scyths at tier 3 and 4 its way too strong and when your in blood rage two mortals is usuallyu enough to kill em and the best part is the bigger they are the harder they get ripped to pieces, downside is timeing and angles. I broke a fire scorpion in 1 minute with morta divide tier 4 on diffculty hard 11, I felt cheated.
