Abilities[]

Most ability names are unofficial.

Blink
If one of the Black Serpent Knight: Windcutter's attacks is fully absorbed by a player's Shield (does not count if the shield breaks as a result of the attack), it will gain a temporary buff at the cost of 15% of its Current HP, which increases its ATK by 30% and allows it to blink away from the next attack and take no DMG no matter the scale.
2-Slash Combo
Performs 2 consecutive slashes, dealing 80% ATK with each slash as Anemo DMG. The combo may end early if the player leaves its range.
3-Slash Combo
Performs 3 consecutive slashes, dealing 60% ATK, 80% ATK, 80% ATK with each slash respectively as Anemo DMG. The combo may end early if the player leaves its range.
Whirling Windblades
Loosens their sword and launches several spinning blades forward before retracting them. The spinning blades deal 60% ATK when launching and retracting as Anemo DMG and deal 40% ATK as Anemo DMG upon contact.
Windspike Whipsmash
Loosens their sword and slams it in a whip-like fashion, dealing 100% ATK as Anemo DMG.
Swiftwind Seekers
Forms 6 projectiles before launching them at the player consecutively, each dealing 30% ATK as Anemo DMG on hit.

Black Serpent Knight: Windcutter
Black Serpent Knight Windcutter
This seems to have once been a trusted guard of high standing in some land who wielded the power of the winds. Its attacks become faster and stronger when they hit shielded characters, at the cost of its own health.

Descriptions[]

A guard of some standing in the court, sundering the foes of the nation's rulers using a sword art known as "Truthseeker."
The Twilight Sword was once one of their number. That realm's glory has been extinguished, never again to be reclaimed.

Trivia[]

  • Some Black Serpent Knight: Windcutters can be found with special titles:
    • Edgetho: a Windcutter found in the underground mines of the Chasm with the title "Breaker of the Oath of Silence."
    • Buliwyf: a Windcutter found in the underground mines of the Chasm with the title "Guardian of the Desolation."
    • Rethel: a Windcutter found in the underground mines of the Chasm with the title "Slain of the Split Bow."
    • Ynghildr: a Windcutter found on the middle level of a Ruin Golem during the quest Vimana Agama: Jazari's Chapter with the title "Sword of a Lost Homeland."
  • Similarly to Frostarm Lawachurls, all of the overworld Windcutter knights have titles when fought in addition to being named.
  • Rethel and Ynghildr are fought alone; both Edgetho and Buliwyf are reinforced by a Standard Bearer, with Buliwyf being assisted by an additional Defender.
