Best Sword Fighting Perks The Blood of Dawnwalker

Our The Blood of Dawnwalker Guide details the best sword fighting perks that you can use in the game, according to us. By progressing through the Court section and rescuing Ursil, you can gain access to sword training and build a setup focused on perfect blocks, critical attacks, weapon damage, and weakening enemies.

Best Sword Fighting Skills and Perks in The Blood of Dawnwalker

To start unlocking the sword skills, you first need to progress through the Court section of the game and kill the prisoner transports for Ambress.

After defeating the required transports, you’ll rescue Ursil, a prisoner from the camp.

Ursil is important because he can train you in sword fighting skills and eventually gives you access to his shop after you defeat him in a battle.

You can find several skill books that can improve your sword talents and make combat much more effective in his shop.

Head into your character tab, and you will see a list of sword talents that you can focus on. One of Ursil’s books unlocks a talent based around the perfect block. After successfully blocking an attack, you’ll see a red directional indicator. If you immediately attack in the direction shown by the red arrow, the attack becomes a critical strike, allowing you to deal considerably more damage.

The final perk in this section gives your attacks a chance to weaken enemies. A weakened enemy takes more damage while also dealing less damage to you, giving you another advantage during longer fights.

Alongside these abilities, it is important to improve your general sword-related stats as much as possible. Weapon damage is one of the main stats to invest in, followed by critical hit chance. Another useful upgrade provides 10% additional damage when you attack from a different direction between consecutive attacks, giving you another way to increase your overall damage.

You can also acquire and use the Durandell sword, which can be obtained from the bottom of a ravine near a broken bridge. It is possible to collect this weapon and escape without fighting the enemies in the area. The sword provides serious damage.

Having the right talents is only part of making this setup work. The main focus in combat should be your ability to dodge and block attacks correctly. It is recommended to practice your perfect dodges and then follow them with attacks from the correct direction. The same idea applies to perfect blocks. Rather than simply blocking and immediately attacking in any direction, watch for the red arrow and follow it with your attack to trigger the critical strike.

This makes the sword mastery setup particularly useful for players who want to build their combat around timing rather than simply attacking repeatedly. Perfect blocks open up opportunities for critical hits, while the weakening effect gives you another way to reduce the threat posed by enemies.
