Best Long Blade Blood Arts

[StrifeSan]

so i unlocked all the teir 1 blood arts and it seems to me that vampire's bit might be the most useful. so just want ask which art u think is the best for long blade?

I personally use Enduring Blade because it increase attack power, usable in almost all situations (Including air attacks) and cost nothing.
Vampiric Blade is quite useful tho If the map has alot of stationary aragami or you find yourself getting hit alot.

I find Tornado Rush to be the best all around blood art for my play style. It's a little tricky to land against some arigami's weak spots, but once you get the hang of it you can do some pretty nice damage. Also, it adds a lot of mobility (as long as you don't hit anything, you can zip around the map for free unless you have the All Out Attack skill on equipment). It does have a few bad match-ups, with the absolute worst being Sariel and friends since you have to actually touch the arigami with the dash for the attack (which makes it completely useless against them and other high weak points). Rising Dragon is also pretty good, but it's incredibly hard to land. Though it's a pretty good alternative to Tornado Rush especially against Sariel. Theoretically if you git gud (unlike me), Rising Dragon might be the best blood art to use at least in some situations. Halcyon and Enduring Blade are both pretty good too, but I much perfer the burst damage of Tornado Rush. Slaughter Gear is situationally good for aerial fights, but I think the Scythe with Spinning Pendulum is far better. Other than that, I don't think there are any other skills that I would personally use because they are far too weak or situational IMO.
