Sister Blades
The fastest attacking weapon in the game. Throws blades with Special and scales harder than anything else with critical strike and backstab bonuses.
Move set
| Move | Base damage | Magick | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
Slash Attack | 15 / 20 / 25 / 30 | — | A four-hit dagger flurry; the finisher knocks enemies back. |
Omega Attack Omega | 200 | 20 | Blink behind the nearest enemy and land a lethal backstab cut. |
Throw Special | 25 | — | Hurls a single returning blade straight ahead. |
Omega Special Omega | 25 × 5 (fan) | 25 | Fires five piercing blades in a wide fan. |
How it plays
Sister Blades trade reach for tempo. The four-hit combo comes out faster than any other weapon's attack, which means on-hit boons — Blitz, Scorch, Wounds — stack far more quickly than the numbers suggest.
The Omega Attack teleports Melinoë behind her target for a guaranteed backstab. It is the single best gap-closer in the game and makes positioning trivial once you learn the timing — but it costs Magick, so a Gain boon is effectively mandatory.
Aspects for this weapon

Aspect of Melinoë
Attack and Special gain critical chance and armour penetration when they hit from behind. Combined with the Omega Attack teleport, you can reliably strike from the rear on demand.
Aspect of Pan
Thrown blades seek enemies standing inside your Cast, and Omega Special fires many more of them. This is the strongest Aspect in the game for melting bosses: drop a Cast, then shred everything inside it from a safe distance.
Aspect of Artemis
Holding Special raises a parry stance. Parry an attack and your next strike is a guaranteed critical that also blinks you behind the attacker. The highest skill ceiling of any Aspect — and the highest reward when you read a boss correctly.
