Spin Slash is a skill in Dark Souls III.
In-Game Description
- Slice into foes with a large spinning motion, and continue spinning to transition into a strong attack.
Description[]
The wielder brings the weapon around into a counter-clockwise spin. Performing a strong attack will add two more spins, the first being equal in strength to the initial spin and culminating in one final strong spin, inflicting significantly more damage than the first two spins.
Usage[]
Single Player[]
Because the skill carries the wielder forward with each spin, forward momentum can be used to bring a deadly whirling blade into a group of enemies, hitting them up to three times while staggering them the entire time. Be wary that while there is Hyper Armor on this skill, it can be staggered out of with enough concentrated force.
Online[]
Like its smaller cousins, the full weapon art cannot be parried, giving the wielder a way to punish players who attempt to parry the attacks. As well, the third spin in the full chain inflicts tremendous Poise damage, which can be useful if an enemy is attempting to trade into the spin.
Be wary of using this skill if the enemy is free to dodge, as the full chain leaves the wielder completely vulnerable to a backstab at the end of the third spin.
