Banshee's Wail

[Block] : Hold to rev the blade. • Increases damage and adds [Shield-Piercing] shield piercing to all attacks. • Gain stacks when dealing damage with revved attacks. • Additional stacks increase the damage and damage resistance of heavy attacks.

This sword cuts through high health enemies. This sword is best used for PvE on champions as well as bosses who are high health and do low or moderate melee damage. Bosses that deal high melee damage are risky to use this against due to potentially being killed by a one shot melee and knockback which severely limits DPS. If hit by a knockback attack, immediately use a light attack to lock back onto the target to stay in sword range. To use optimally hold block to activate Banshee's Wail. This will make ensuing light attacks do more damage, build stacks of Banshee's Wail, and put the sword in "revved mode" which changes the animation of the heavy attack and makes it deal massive damage. The easiest combo to pull off is: hold block to activate Banshee's Wail, perform 3 light attacks for 9x stacks of Banshee's Wail, then perform a heavy attack.
