A steady Slash attacker who gains Poise Count from Clash Wins and builds up Coin Power. Longer battles let him accumulate Poise and land repeated Critical Hits.
Core Mechanics
Combat passive — Poised (4 Pride Owned; unlocked at Uptie Ⅱ): Gains +1 Poise Count on Clash Win. Gains +1 Coin Power for every 5 Poise Count, up to +3. His Pride S1, Striker’s Stance, helps him meet the requirement himself. The Coin Power bonus requires Uptie Ⅳ.
Gaining Poise: S1 gains 2 Poise Count on use, and its Coin Ⅰ grants Poise next turn. S3, Flank Thrust, gains 2 Poise on use. S2, Heel Turn, increases Poise Count next turn on Clash Win.
Critical damage: On a Critical Hit, Coin Ⅲ of S3 deals +50%/70% damage, depending on Uptie tier, while his Counter defense skill deals +70% damage.
Support passive — Bestow (3 Pride Owned; unlocked at Uptie Ⅲ): The 1 ally with the highest SP gains +1 additional Poise Count from skill effects.
How to Use
Early on, build Poise with S1 and use S2 and S3, whose higher Base Power gives them higher minimum rolls, to secure Clash Wins. Each win activates Poised and adds Poise Count, replenishing the 1 Count lost after a Critical Hit or at Turn End. In a long battle, he can reach 15 Poise Count for +3 Coin Power. Once Poise is established, aim for heavy Critical damage with Coin Ⅲ of S3 or Counter. His low durability makes Counter safest when his resistances let him take the incoming hit. A Blade Lineage team with Blade Lineage Mentor Meursault, who supplies Poise, greatly improves his performance.

Blade Lineage Mentor (Meursault): His Swordplay of the Homeland passive (3 Pride Resonance, Uptie Ⅱ) gives +1 Poise Potency and Count to the 2 Blade Lineage Identities with the least Poise whenever he gains Poise Potency or Count through his own skill or Coin effects. This helps Blade Lineage Salsu build Poise faster.
Blade Lineage Salsu (Outis): Another Blade Lineage Identity who can receive Swordplay of the Homeland from Blade Lineage Mentor at Combat Start. With at least 6 Blade Lineage members participating, the additional Poise becomes 2.
