Favorite blood arts?

[Daddy Kaneki]

Short blade - I love a LOT of Short Blade's blood arts, especially most of the Rising Edge arts. I like Fatal Riser, Kirin Dart, and the right-click #5 thrust attacks make for really powerful combo finishers. God's Stitch was a great one too.

Long blade - I played 24 hours with the Short Blade and I wasn't really against it; in fact I enjoyed it a fair amount but I'm actually having so much more fun with the long blade. My favorite art is Halcyon Blade (the one where you drain stamina to make all of your attacks more powerful.) It's just so much more useful than the arts that just power your left click or your right click, like what all the other weapons have (including this one.) With halcyon blade, EVERYTHING becomes more powerful as long as you have stamina. It makes every attack more useful instead of making you feel like you need combo finishers, which was most of my problem with Short Blade (I always felt like I was missing a hard-hitting final attack when I used Short Blade.) There's really good combo finishers in Long Blade as well, but I prefer the freedom of having every attack be morepowerful.

Only issue I have with Long Blade right now is that Impulse Edge is made rather redundant due to the fact that I carry a shotgun. I guess it has longer range though, but exactly how useful is that when that range can be covered in 2 seconds of running? There are arts that improve Impulse Edge, but I don't want to let go of Halcyon Blade.

Long Blade - Gale Strke, mainly because of how fast Aragami's start to move at higher levels and its a quick hard hiting move that doesn't require a combo to deal maximum damage.

Scythe - Mortal Divider, best black blood art in the game and like Gale Strike, its a single hard hitting move that doesn't require long combos.

Buster Blade - Sadly all the the blood arts are rather underwhelming. I just use anything with this one depending on which blood art I just feel like using on this weapon.

visually speaking, buster blade CC BA, blue and yellow one.

Only been putting time into the spear at the moment but I have two favourites.

Floating Cyclone: Kind of a lazy choice for myself as I just enter any mission and cover both ground and air combat. I do however like that some Arigami attacks can be whiffed with the amount of time you spend in the air.

Comet Strike: A recent adoption and I wish I had used it sooner. I love how much single hit damage it does that eventually results in easy knockdowns. Can also be a decent tool for evading incoming attacks as well.

I still consider myself a novice but I would like to hear other opinions on the same class.
[Perhaps even convert me hehe]

CC Destruct for the Buster is great. So massive , so flashy , plenty of damage

[YMeAgain]

Charge Spear: Galewind Step. It functions as a buckler block while in the animation, and it can move you out of hairy situations. If played right, of course XD

A lot of the Short Blade arts are really particle heavy. Fatal Riser is always fun to look at. SO much red.

Short Blade's Sky Dancer! Dem telepawts! XD

Variant Scythe: It's gotta be Execution and Mortal Divide. It's just so satisfying to land each one and tear most aragami apart. The particle effects are pretty neat too. I've tried Turbulence and while it's not bad, I think I'd rather just use Short Blade's Blood Cascade for the extra mobility of a short blade.

Long Blade: I've gotta give it to Gale Strike. Death by one thousand cuts is always great fun, especially when the Aragami can't even touch you as long as you're paying attention to where you dash and what it's doing. Also amazing in Blood Rage.

Haven't had a reason to try others past Sonic Calibur (2nd Long Blade BA).

[Bunny Breaker]

Buster blade arts are underwhelming? Tell that to the poor God Arc Zero that met 99999 from mine.
However my personal favourites are
Buster Blade - CC Destroyer: Really good for breaking as it spreads and hits multiple times and is easy to use to set 'mines' for jumpy annoying enemies

Boost Hammer - Iron Heart Just sit in Burst 3 with a good Defense score and Calm Breather with Melee special attack stam + B>HP Recovery and go sleep mashing X except when you need to quick devour to restock Burst 3.

talking about shortblade, we got 'cough' infernal vortex/hell spiral, astral dive, and bee stab which are not flashy, but dem damage ‎( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Buster Blade : one day my final vengeance will be awake, one day..

[Zephyr]

I only use shortblade, and usually I'm Blood Cascade all day til the end of days. But visually and in term of feeling, it's not my favorite. I think the Kirin Dart would be my favorite just because stomping an Aragami again and again with a flying downward kick is just so satisfying. I also like the 10 teleporting air lift click strikes. Teleporting combo are always cool. The rising strike ones are cool, and powerful, but they are also a bit hard to use.

I will probably add to that when I actually get to drag my friends to play the 2 and be able to try new weapons with them. Really want to try the scythe one day.

For Long Blade i go with Galestrike, it does wonders when you're up against Hannibals/Kyuubis/Vajras, one single striker for multiple hits.


Buster i usally go with CC destruct, i thought it was a underwhelming BA at first, but once you level up, its really good and cool. I also like CC Chaser, but need some practice.
