Sword

Swords are one of the five weapon types that characters can use in Genshin Impact.

Normal Attacks[]

A Sword user's Normal Attack chain typically consists of 3-5 fast melee attacks with relatively short reach.

Charged Attacks[]

A Sword user's Charged Attack has a small windup before performing 2 fast, arcing attacks in front of them with high knockback and wide AoE. Notable exceptions include:

Jean's upward thrust (Favonius Bladework)
Ayaka's AoE scan attack (Kamisato Art: Kabuki)
Ayato's forward lunge (Kamisato Art: Marobashi)
Furina's AoE attack that switches her Arkhe alignment (Soloist's Solicitation)
Clorinde's Pistolet Suppression (Oath of Hunting Shadows).

Sword Charged Attacks can only be performed after a Normal Attack, and cannot be buffered after the final Normal Attack in a combo. The only exception to this is Furina's Charged Attack.

Most Sword users move forward during their Charged Attacks. However, exceptions are Keqing, Kaeya, and Albedo who move backward, as well as Ayaka, Nilou and Furina, who do not move or have very little movement.

Sword Charged Attacks typically cost 20 Stamina, with the only exception being Keqing's which costs 25 Stamina.

Plunging Attacks[]

Sword Plunging Attacks are considered Blunt Attacks. All Sword users have similar animations when plunging, which involves them striking downward with their sword.
