Nightjar Slash Reversal Notes & Tips
- Nightjar Slash Reversal is a Combat Arts Skill
- It is best to think of Nightjar Slash, and the Reversal, as a combo starter or finisher. The leaping slash should only be used to close the gap, as upon contact with the target, players can perform sword combos or prosthetic tools with seamless transition after leaping in. The reversal slash should be used after a combo to get one final hit in, and to cartwheel away like a boss. This retreat almost always ends up dodging a counter-attack or stab/thrust from the enemy.
- Both the Nightjar Slash and Reversal do equal damage to vitality and posture, although one should note that this combat art does one lowest amounts of damage to either vitality or posture. This combat art is best use tactically to close the gap or dodge counter-attacks and thrusts. Relying on this combat art for damage would be a tremendous misuse of the art.
- The forward flip that deals the slash attack counts as if Sekiro is in the air (as if he jumped). This means that if timed correctly (hard to do), you can evade Perilous sweep attacks with this combat art.
On the same note, the backwards flip that he does after the slash in the Reversal version also counts as if Sekiro is in the air. Again, this can be used (if rarely) to evade Perilous sweep attacks. - Forward flip deals 1.05 health and 1x posture damage, backwards one - 0.95x health and 0.9x posture.

Good gapcloser after recovering from a huge knockback of a deflect. Also the reversal is good for distancing to recover posture. Also it looks so cool then you flip away from a boss's counter-attack. Also looks cool if you did the reversal as a finisher combo and both of you step back.

Works amazing against headless, if the divine conffeti runs out you can use this to get away from him and buff again

This is the best art in the whole game for my playstyle, after you are used to it you can’t go back, will be part of your game style..Suriken, Chasing Slice, Attack, Reversal, Suriken, Slash forward, Reversal.. and so on.. you keep doing pressure while staying at a distance and the posture of the enemy fills up so damn fast.
I find highly ironic that this is the combat art that helped me the most against the Demon of Hatred. Being able to quickly close or put distance against him really saved my skin a lot of times.

I just had a really tight fight with Genichiro just now. Using Nightjar Slash & Reversal with the right timing is absolutely beautiful. Gonna upload it soon.

Looks a lot like the curved sword kick attack from dark souls

Only really good when used with Nightjar slash. Any other time, you're usually just better off just deflecting or backstepping.

I wondered that myself xD the game is far from intuitiv on this point: you have to equip the new skill "nightjar reversal". Feels bad to only be able to equip one move...
