Quick answer

Look up what Swordmastery is and how it is acquired

A factual Swordmastery reference for The Blood of Dawnwalker covering combat focus, manuals, sword types, skill progression, and confirmed unlock mechanics.

What Swordmastery is

Swordmastery is the martial progression path centred on sword technique, precision, and timing. It connects to the game’s omni and directional combat options, but exact controls belong in the combat guide.

How techniques are learned

Manuals or books can unlock or improve techniques. Official material says they may be found or bought from certain fencers. Skill points and, for some improvements, story time are also part of progression.

Confirmed sword categories

Short swords, long swords, and great swords are confirmed, with qualitative differences in attack speed. Exact values, skill ranks, and a best-weapon order are not published without launch-build capture.
