Shadow Guard

Honedge and Doublade do not gain the stat benefits of Stance Change. However, their boosted attack functions like Aegislash's Sword Stance boosted attack.

No Guard

Slash at enemies in front of Aegislash, dealing damage to them. If the boost count is one or more, basic attacks become a boosted attack. When in Blade Stance: pierce through enemies, dealing damage. When in Shield Stance: ram enemies, dealing damage and leaving them unable to act for a short time, restore HP, and reduce the cooldown of Sacred Sword and Shadow Claw when this attack hits. Every boosted attack consumes one boost count. Up to 4 boosted boosted attacks can be stored.

Attack

Cast a shadow in the designated direction, dealing damage to enemies hit. After the shadow hits an enemy or travels its maximum distance, Aegislash warps to the shadow’s location, dealing damage to nearby enemies and increase boost count by 1.

Shadow Sneak

Aegislash thrusts its blade into the ground, creating a triangular zone. This zone erupts with a hidden power, dealing damage to enemies in the area and throws them. Also increases boost count by 1 for each enemy hit (capped at 2 for wilds, 4 for players). At the same time as the eruption, Aegislash slashes forward, dealing additional damage to enemies hit. For a short time after this slash hits, damage dealt by Aegislash partially ignores the Defense of all enemies.

Sacred Sword

Increase Attack for a short time after hitting enemies with this move.

Aegislash slashes with its blade twice in the designated direction, dealing damage to enemies hit. Follow up with a final rising slash that deals damage to enemies hit and throw them. Boost count increases by 1 when at least one of the three slashes hits.

Shadow Claw

Increases Critical-Hit Rate with all attacks and moves except for Coup de Grace for a short time.

Focus in place for a short time to create a great shield on Aegislash. When this shield appears, boost count increases by 1, granting a shield to Aegislash and shoves enemies in front. While this shield is active, enemy player attacks increase boost count by 1 for each different enemy player (capping at 4). When this move ends, shove enemies in front of Aegislash once again.

Dash in the designated direction, dealing damage to enemies hit. Also increases boost count by 1, and protects Aegislash with a special shield for a short time afterward. This shield doesn’t protect from hindrances, but it can nullify damage. When the shield blocks an attack, it disappears and boost count is increased by 1.

Increase Attack for a short time after blocking an attack.

Unleash a ground-splitting slash in the designated direction, dealing damage to enemies hit. The lower their remaining HP, the more damage this move deals. If this slash knocks out an enemy, boost count increases by 1.
