Vassal's Blade
Weapon type
Might	16
Range	1
Required	Wo Dao
SP	400
Exclusive?	Yes
String ID	SID_剣姫の刀
Description	Accelerates Special trigger (cooldown count-1). If unit's Spd > foe's Spd, deals damage = 70% of difference between stats. (Maximum bonus of +7 damage. Combos with Phantom Spd.)

Notes

• The maximum Spd difference that matters for Vassal's Blade's damage bonus is 10, due to Vassal's Blade's cap of 7 bonus damage.
• The minimum Spd difference that matters for Vassal's Blade's damage bonus is 2, which provides 1 bonus damage.
• The bonus damage from Vassal's Blade is applied after other effects, and is thus not boosted by specials such as  Glimmer or  Astra.
• With  Phantom Spd 3, Vassal's Blade will deal extra damage if the user would otherwise have equal or less Spd than the target.
  • This effect stops when the user is regularly 9 Spd slower than the target, as a 1-Spd advantage rounds down to zero damage.
