Location and loot
| Delayed Dash Attack | Item Cancel |
|---|---|
| This attack can only be used with the Saw Spear, Beasthunter Saif, and Hunter Axe. To perform it, dash or roll toward your opponent, then hit R1 a few frames after dash or roll animation ends. | This causes you to cancel out of an item animation before it finishes, and works on all items including blood vials, Hunter Tools, projectiles and weapon buffs. Face away from your opponent, but with your camera facing them. Remain still and begin using the item you want. Once the animation begins, lock on to your opponent. This will stop the animation instantly, and the item will not be used. |
Reference data
| "Moonkage" Sword Visual Effect | Ritekeeper Buff |
|---|---|
| This does not alter damage in any way, but produces an interesting visual effect on the Chikage. You need to have the Holy Moonlight Sword and the Chikage equipped, and no Quicksilver Bullets. With the Holy Moonlight Sword in its transformed state, perform the R2 attack that normally consumes Quicksilver Bullets to shoot a projectile. Then switch to the Chikage, transform it and perform its R2. It will leave behind a trail like the Holy Moonlight Sword. | If you are an adversary in a dungeon, the Ritekeeper's buffs will affect you, granting additional physical damage. |
