Equip the best type of skill for your weapon in Lost Souls Aside, as you advance further in the game, with the difficulty rising further.
Upgrading your skill tree is important to increase your range of attacks in Lost Souls Aside. While there is no significant difference in the number of damage points you deal with each attack, each move has its own individual perks. These could range from inflicting area damage to closing the distance between you and the enemy, among others.
In this article, we will explore the top five skills in Lost Souls Aside for your weapons.
Weapon Skills in Lost Souls Aside
5. Burst Pursuit: Shadow Flash
- Type of Weapon: Sword
- Key Buttons: R2
- Base Cost: 100 Stamina
- Perks: AoE Attack | Burst Damage | Multi-Hit Attack
This move will be available as a follow-up during a heavy Cleave. A heavy Cleave is a skill under the Sword list where you perform a powerful slash, closing the distance between you and the enemy by holding the heavy attack button.
Upon initiating the attack, you will inflict a quick burst of damage, speeding forward and closing the distance. The dimensional slash ends with a ball of wind, dealing extra damage before vanishing.
4. Sync Finisher: Purgatory Lash
- Type of Weapon: Scythe
- Key Buttons: ‘Square’ + ‘X’
- Perks: Finisher | Multi-Hit Attack
The Sync Finisher: Purgatory Lash works as a countermeasure when trying to break an enemy’s defense. When an enemy is in a defensive state, unleash the combo of Square + X on your PlayStation 5 controller to break through and lash toward the target.
This move engages a quick succession of attacks, pushing the enemy back as you charge. With every consecutive strike, more damage is dealt until the final blow. What makes the finisher more special is that it helps accumulate Nightblade energy.
3. Sync Finisher: Earthshaker
- Type of Weapon: Greatsword
- Key Buttons: ‘Square’ + ‘X’, (Final hit: R2)
- Perks: Finisher | Multi-Hit Attack
The Sync Finisher: Earthshaker is the second and only other finisher on this list for its ability to deliver a quick succession of hits. This move is available under the moveset of the greatsword. Similar to the previous finisher, you use it to first break the enemy’s defense with Square + X.
After swinging forward with your enlarged sword, you will continue to inflict multiple hits with increasing damage. Just before the final strike, press R2 to launch an additional burst pursuit hit, finishing with a powerful combo.
2. Blitz Burst: Wheel of Termination
- Type of Weapon: Greatsword
- Key Buttons: ‘Square’
- Perks: Mid-to-long Ranged | Multi-hit Attack
The Blitz Burst: Wheel of Termination ranks in the top two partly for its dramatic name, but mainly for its ability to deal solid area damage. To execute the move, you need to use your remaining Unbound energy. Three can be stored at a time, but they expire after a certain duration.
After wielding the greatsword, press Square to activate the move. This unleashes a fierce slash that generates a phantom greatsword, creating a whirlpool-like spin that damages all enemies in close range. While the overall damage is lower, the wide area of effect and number of enemies hit make up for it.
1. Burst Pursuit: Obliteration
- Type of Weapon: Sword
- Key Buttons: R2
- Perks: AoE Attack | Burst Damage | Multi-hit Attack
- Base Cost: 100 Stamina
The Burst Pursuit: Obliteration acts as a follow-up attack right after Shadow Trend. A prompt will display to alert you when to use it. Similar to the Wheel of Termination, this move deals significant damage across a wide radius.
Upon activating the move with R2, you unleash a sword wave attack, striking the enemy from all sides and damaging multiple targets nearby. Each strike deals an additional bar of damage and easily breaks guard. This makes it a great move to pair with any combo as a finishing blow.
