Not much else to say, really. Dash-strike is your bread and butter. Your Special becomes Magnetic Cutter; its pull deals 20 damage. Players can also trade them at the Wretched Broker in the House of Hades for a variety of currency and useful items. Malphon boasts the highest attack rate of any melee weapon, which increases its potential when upgraded. Magnetic Cutter pulls foes in towards you; affected foes take bonus attack/cast damage for 4s.

Heavy Knuckle changes a players combo, essentially making it a slow 3-hit sequence that stabilizes the amount of damage players output. Your Special automatically seeks the foe last struck by your Attack. It should be noted that Chain Shot cannot be combined with Explosive Shot.
