Thrust	Launch forward spinning and going upwards at an angle. At the top of the attack, strike down making a small AoE attack.			O		C1	C6(Both hits)
Pierce	Backflip kick with arms crossed then throws a wind cone forward. Acts as a grapple, because upon hitting any unit without any special additions, stone belt or super armor, then anybody hit will be thrown in the direct path of your cone.			O(Wind cone)	O(Kick)	O	O(Wind cone)
Crescent	Frontal slash to the left. Causes collapse.						C6

Note:

Stagger - Enemy weapon gets pushed up in the air and they lean backwards. Hitting them before they can fully recover will cause them to be juggled.
Stun - Enemy is dazed with stars over their head and unable to move. Any attack while in this state will cause them to be juggled.
Knockback - Sends the enemy backwards away from you. Usually ending a combo.
Launch - Knocks the enemy up in the air setting them up for a juggle.
Rotation Lock - Inability to turn your character during the animation.
Element - If weapon is imbued with an orb or element, the element can be activated on this attack.
SA - Super Armor status. Cannot be flinched by normal attacks and some charge attacks while performing this. Indicated by little orange swirly sparks around your body.
"O" indicates the attack has this effect on the enemy. "X" means this attack does not have elemental activation.

D = Dash attack, N# = Normal attack, E# = Evolution attack, JN = Jump Normal, JC = Jump Charge, C# = Charge attack, True = True Musou.
What do these values mean? They determine how much damage you do per swing. Refer to the Battle Mechanics page for more details.
The N in the values represents each hit in multi-hit attacks such as jump charges, C3s, and Musous. The final number is usually the knockback finisher of the combo(if it has one).
"Base" represents the damage value of the attack by itself.
E8 always causes the enemy to be juggled often causing the E9 hit to do 50% damage. The value that is written in the table is the estimated value that E9 would cause if the enemy was not being juggled.
