Steel Slash

Steel Slash is one of Hunter's starting Weapons in Misery of Magic. It is a blue nonmagic attack.

Effect
The Steel Slash is similar to other Slash-type attacks: it hits an area adjacent to the user.

Obtaining
The only way to obtain Steel Slash is to recruit Hunter into your party. This in itself has several steps. Firstly, the large boss demon at the bottom of Remnant must be defeated. Once this has been done, Hunter will be willing to unlock the gate on the surface level of the Remnant. Finally, if the gate is open, talking to Hunter when he appears in Solitude Stoneway will cause him to join you. The Steel Slash will be the first of his three starting weapons.

Trivia

 * The Steel Slash is the fastest out of all Slashes. It is a full 25% faster than the basic Slash, Heart Slash and Flame Slash, although it is 12% weaker than the vanilla Slash to make up for it. While the Corrupted Slash also has a base cooldown of 12 frames and a limiting cooldown of 6 frames, the Steel Slash reaches the maximum speed sooner, attaining 6 frames at Tier 27. In contrast, Corrupted Slash does not reach 6 frames until Tier 45. This is because, internally, the Corrupted Slash's base cooldown is technically 12.7, although it is in practice always rounded down, compared to the Steel Slash's 12.0.
