Playstyle
Greatsword Warrior who freezes his foes: Frozen Veins, Frosted Gleam, Waterspout, Demolishing Strike - Freeze and Swift Cut - Freeze fill the Freeze gauge. Against frozen targets, fully charged Vertical Slash, Rising Slash and Final Cleave hit harder thanks to Clean Cut. Brace shields grant Stagger Immunity. The greatsword is maxed at 56 Trait Points, at endgame 44 go into the longsword.

BraceRotation
- Opener: Pommel Strike, Arc Slash (Brace shield), Cross Slash, Rain Cleave, Downpour Slash.
- If Rain Cleave hits a frozen target or triggers Freeze, Waterspout fully charges Rising Slash. Then Vertical Slash and Rising Slash – Frostfang grants 5 Resolve, so Final Cleave is sure to trigger Unbridled Might and Rampage follows at no SP cost.
- Loop: Arc Slash, Chain Slash, Sweeping Slash. On Freeze, Frosted Gleam briefly enables Final Cleave, then Rampage.
- More Resolve: charged Sunder (Brawl: 4 stacks), Turning Strike with block, then Sweeping Slash.
- When the enemy attacks: block while shielded, Demolishing Strike, Fatal Cleave. That removes all shields, Arc Slash builds a new one.
- Low on SP: press Q for the longsword. Frenzy after Heavy Kick is a free Bloodstorm, Hemorrhage and Crimson Surge are paid with HP, Bloodforge heals. Swapping back ends Bloodforge.
