Unlock Requirements

To unlock Three Sword Style (3SS), players must've fully unlocked 2 Sword Style and 1 Sword Style beforehand.

(Talk to Zorana to start the questline)

Questline

• Quest 1: Use the C move: Rashomon Draw from 2 Sword Style to knock down or incapacitate 30 players. Knockdown refers to a state where the target is rendered immobile and at 0 HP, but not gripped.
• Quest 2: Defeat Hawk Eye on Umi Island. The player must deal at least 5% contribution to earn credit.
• Quest 3: Use the Z move: Tower Climb from 2SS 30 times on opponents to counter them. The move must connect as a counter.
• Quest 4: Defeat Ryuma at Thriller Bark.

After completing all four quests, players return to Zorana to unlock 3SS. Completion rewards include:

• Unlocking of the 3 Sword Style fighting style
• A free sword
• A Zoro outfit (player can choose the style)

Billion-Fold World Mechanic

The move Billion-Fold World includes an auto-execute mechanic. When a target's health drops to approximately 10–15% of their max HP, a special execution mark appears, indicating they are within range for an automatic finisher.

• This effect applies to players and certain NPCs.
• For players, the execution threshold might be closer to 20%, though this is not fully confirmed.
• The indicator ensures the player knows when the move will execute the enemy upon activation.

Tips

• The following moves can be used as combo extenders:
  • Tiger Hunt
  • 1080 Pound Phoenix
  • Onigiri
  • Dragon Twister
  • Billion-Fold World

• Dragon Twister has a long startup animation. To cast it safely, use a combo extender that applies a long stun beforehand. While the other move is going going off push T and hold it to make Dragon Twistercombo extend.
• 3 Sword Style offers significant flexibility by allowing players to rotate between 1 Sword Style, 2 Sword Style, and 3 Sword Style using the V move: Sword Style Swap.
• In exchange for this versatility, 3SS has a **lower M1 Scaling** than 1SS or 2SS. Players seeking higher M1-based DPS may prefer switching to 1SS or 2SS using the style swap.
