Sword skills can be used with any sword equipped, but Katana skills require a Katana-type sword equipped to be available.
The number in the Damage column is multiplied by the standard slash damage. So a Stun Slash (Knee-Split) will do 0.6 damage of a regular slash.
Contact column shows if the technique makes physical contact with the enemy. If so, the enemy with a counter ability (CounterFear, BoltBarrier, FireBarrier, IceBarrier, etc.) will counterattack the character.
Blockable column shows if the technique can be blocked by enemies equipped with a shield (Earth Dragon, Dullahan, Lion Princess, etc.) or be deflected by enemies with Deflect ability (SwordValkyrie, Zyphon, etc.).
(2s)=Requires having two swords equipped. (G)=Attacks the entire group of enemies.
