- No Shield Thrust
- Sword X+A now has a Guard Point

Aerial

- Sword Charge Attack is different
    - Cannot be charged
    - Cannot combo into it from any move
    - Still combos into Shield Thrust (X+A) and Roundhouse Slash (third X)
- When jumping off of a monster/teammate you can:
    - From sheathed:
        - Press X for a down Sword swing which charges your phials
        - Press R-X-A for a down Axe swing

            - If no phials, just does the normal swing
        - Press X+A while in Red Shield for Air Ultra
- You still have to press back+X to do Super Burst on ground as you can still do Ultra while on the ground

Adept

- Shield Thrust cannot be followed up with a Shield Charge + Roundhouse Slash
