Great Slash

Great Slash is the Nail Art taught to the Knight by Nailmaster Sheo. By holding ATTACK until fully charged, then releasing ATTACK while neither dashing nor holding UP/DOWN, the Knight performs a powerful slash that inflicts 2x Nail damage. The slash reaches slightly farther than an attack enhanced by both the Longnail and Mark of Pride Charms, while also extending slightly below the Knight and reaching a full Knight's height above.

Because of its ability to inflict a large amount of damage in a short period of time, Great Slash can be capitalised upon when continuous attacks are hard to execute, such as against foes with small windows of vulnerability (e.g. Soul Twister). It can also be used in place of Spells against staggered bosses to deal a greater amount of damage than a regular slash. With its large range that extends above the Knight, Great Slash is especially effective against flying enemies.

How To Perform Hold ATTACK until fully charged, then release without pressing UP/DOWN or dashing. Deals 2x Nail damage.

If this is the only Nail Art that has been learned, Great Slash is executed regardless of the direction being held or whether the Knight is dashing.

Trivia
 * Great Slash damage was nerfed from 2.5x Nail damage to 2x Nail damage in version 1.5.68.11808. This update also added damage scaling with Fragile Strength/ Unbreakable Strength.
 * Due to a glitch, Fury of the Fallen's damage scaling only works if the Charm is active before Nail Arts were ever used in that session. Its effect on Nail Arts damage also stays even after healing.
 * Update 1.5.68.11808 introduced a new way of calculating Nail Arts damage. However, the old way of calculating damage was not removed. It overrides the new way's damage calculation until the Nail is upgraded, Charms are changed, or when the Knight dies. The old damage values are as follows:
