Moveset (V1)

Key	Move	Preview	Description
M1	Normal Attack	▶	Three blade strikes, then a dash on the fourth.

X	Dark Air Slash Mas. 50	▶	You project a tall vertical green energy blade in front of you - high damage and slight knockback. Does not break Instinct. cooldown 13s · energy 40

Moveset (Slayer Skin)

Key	Move	Preview	Description
M1	Normal Attack	▶	Three sword slashes, then a dash on the fourth.
Z	One Thousand Slices Mas. 1	▶	The same near-instant barrage, but in black and white slashes - massive damage and brief stun on enemies hit. According to the weapon's Instinct chart, the first ticks break Instinct at melee range, whereas from a distance the attack can be dodged. cooldown 8.5s · energy 20
X	Dark Air Slash Mas. 50	▶	You project a tall, thin blade of black energy toward your cursor - massive damage and slight knockback. When held (only after The Son Quest), it travels much faster, at the cost of slightly shorter range. Only the held version breaks Instinct, and only on a direct hit. cooldown 13s · energy 40

Slayer Skin

Dark Blade has a third version, the Slayer Skin - when you activate the Aura, everything that was green and black becomes white and black. Unlocking this skin also grants the Slayer of God reward.
