1. #1Sword Skills

   Keys: Sword Skills

   «Sword Skills» (剣技ソードスキル, Sōdo Sukiru?) are «Sword Art Online's» combat movements that are assisted by the system. Most Sword Skills are named in English, the only exception being Katana and certain Martial Arts category skills, which are named in Japanese, but written in the English alphabet.

   Sword Skills are activated when a player performs the appropriate «Pre-Motion» (予備動作プレモーション, Pure Mōshon?, lit. "Preparation motion") for a skill, such as raising a sword atop one's shoulder. As soon as the system recognises the motion, the player's weapon begins to glow in a colour specific to a Sword Skill. The player can then allow the system to take over and automatically complete the skill at a speed that is normally near impossible for a player to achieve and dealing much more damage than a regular sword swing.

   After a skill is completed, the user is temporarily rendered rigid in a state called a «Post-Motion» (技後硬直ポストモーション, Posuto Mōshon?, lit. "After technique stiffening"), during which the user is made vulnerable to any counter-attacks. The higher the level of the Sword Skill used, the longer the «Post-Motion» period is.

   After a Sword Skill has been used, the skill enters a «Cooling» (冷却クーリング, Kūringu?) period, which is displayed as a cooling icon at the bottom of the player's view.[6] Until this period ends, the same Sword Skill cannot be used, however, any other learned skills that are not in a cooling period can still be used.

   «Deadly Sins» is activated by resting the sword on one's shoulders. The skill begins with a diagonal slash from the top-right to the bottom-left, with the user making a full circle spin, drawing their sword backwards in the middle of the spin in preparation for the next attack. This leads to a second diagonal slash from the bottom-right to top-left, followed by a horizontal slash from left to right. The user then executes an upward vertical slash, performing a backwards somersault. This is followed by a horizontal slash from right to left and another full circle spin, which leads to a diagonal slash from the bottom-right to the top-left, stopping at face height. From this position, the user spins their sword in a full circle, hitting the target from the user's right side.

   «Horizontal» (ホリゾンタル, Horizontaru?) is a basic, 1-hit, One-handed Sword category Sword Skill. Causes the blade to glow a Soft Blue when activated.

   «Horizontal» consists of a single horizontal slash that is carried out by first focusing the weight of the body on the right foot before moving the sword back slightly, then lifting one's left foot due to the inertial weight of the sword and shifting the weight to the left side of the body, thus converting the strength in the swinging motion inside the legs and waist from the hands to the tip of the waist into power for the sword swing.

6. #6Horizontal Arc

   «Horizontal Arc» (ホリゾンタル・アーク, Horizontaru Āku?) is a 2-hit One-Handed Sword category Sword Skill. Causes the sword to glow Blue when activated.

The sword then bounces back, and after an instant of being held still at the user's left side, another horizontal swing from left to right is executed. The force of this blow sends the user's body spinning clockwise, with the sword ending up at the user's left flank and unleashing a third horizontal strike from left to right.

9. #9Lightning Fall

   Keys: One-Handed Sword, Lightning Fall

   Lightning Fall» (ライトニング・フォール, Raitoningu Fōru?) is a heavy, ranged, 1-hit One-Handed Sword category Sword Skill. It makes the blade glow a blue-violet.

   «Lightning Fall» begins with the player kicking off the ground at full force. The player then performs a mid-air forward somersault, reversing their grip at the same time. As the player lands, they thrust their sword into the ground. At that moment, a surge of electricity is generated by the sword. Anyone hit by the skill directly suffers physical damage, while anyone caught in the range of the electric attack is additionally stunned.

    «Rage Spike» (レイジスパイク, Reiji Supaiku?) is a basic, 1-hit, One-Handed Sword category Sword Skill. It makes the blade glow a bright-pale blue when activated.

    «Rage Spike» is a charge-type skill that allows the user to close a distance of about ten meters in nearly an instant and consists of an upward slash from the right. However, as it is a basic skill, it deals a very insignificant amount of damage. The skill is similar to «Sonic Leap», except that it has a larger range and it can only be aimed in a straight line along the ground, sacrificing the ability to launch attacks into the air. However, this trait also makes the skill more accurate and harder to defend against.

    The skill can be activated by keeping the body low and bent forward while placing the sword in a parallel manner to the user's right leg and then drawing the sword back.

11. #11Savage Fulcrum

    Keys: One-Handed Sword, Savage Fulcrum

The user then rotates the sword by ninety degrees and performs a vertical slash from bottom to top. Finally, the user unleashes a full-powered vertical slash from top to bottom. The combined trajectory of the skill is similar to the Arabic number "4". The skill is effective against large type monsters.

    «Slant» (スラント, Suranto?) is a simple 1-hit, One-Handed Sword category Sword Skill. It makes the blade glow light blue when activated.

    Slant consists of a single sharp forty-five degree diagonal slash. The only thing that Slant differs from other 1-hit skills like Vertical or Horizontal is that Slant has a slanted trajectory and it can attack in two directions: either from top-right to bottom-left or bottom-left to top-right, the latter being the same stance as drawing a sword from the waist, thus greatly decreasing the time required to activate the skill.

    As the skill can be used in two directions, it can be activated either by putting it on one's shoulder for a top-right to bottom-left slash or in a similar motion to drawing a sword from the waist for a bottom-left to top-right slash. The basic range of the skill is two and a half meters.

16. #16Vertical

    Keys: Vertical, One-Handed Sword

    «Vertical» (バーチカル, Bāchikaru?) is a basic, 1-hit, One-Handed Sword category Sword Skill. It makes the blade glow blue when activated.

    «Vertical» consists of a single slash from top to bottom. Although it is a beginner skill, it is much more powerful than a simple, non-system assisted, vertical swing with a sword.

    The skill is activated by spreading one's feet out to the front and back and then holding one's sword up as though letting it rest atop one's shoulder.

17. #17Vertical Arc

Finally, the skill is concluded with a full-power downward slash from an overhead position. Similarly to the «Horizontal Square», a square, drawn with the four hits of this skill, continues to spin as it dissipates.

19. #19Vorpal Strike

    Keys: Vorpal Strike, One-Handed Sword

    «Vorpal Strike» (ヴォーパル・ストライク, Vōparu Sutoraiku?) is a heavy, high-level 1-hit, One-Handed Sword category Sword Skill. It makes the blade grow a bright deep crimson when activated.

    «Vorpal Strike» consists of a single ultra high-speed and powerful thrust, which induces a long delay after a player uses the skill. However, the reach of this Sword Skill is double that of the actual blade, possibly damaging more than one target if they are close together. Additionally, its power is comparable to that of a two-handed heavy pole-arm, which is more than enough to compensate for the long delay.

    There is variation when you charge this skill long enough which causes the blade to extend to distance of 10 to 12 feet.

    The skill is mostly effective against monsters, as players can easily read the timing of the skill and dodge it, while monsters are unable to counter it with their simple Artificial Intelligence. When used, the skill lets out a sound similar to that of a jet engine.

    The skill is activated by folding an arm with the sword towards the shoulder and slightly twisting the body to the right.

20. #20Meteor Break

    The first strike of the 7-hit combo of «Meteor Break» is a strong, downward strike to the right. Afterwards, the user twists their wrist and swings the sword back up, retracing the trajectory of the first strike with a motion similar to a golf club’s swing. Then, going against the expectation of monster opponents, the user rams the target with their left shoulder, instead of swinging downwards with their sword again. This tackle is followed by a vertical swing at the swaying target and another tackle with the user’s right shoulder. Finally, the skill is concluded with a horizontal slash from right to left, aimed at the target’s neck.

21. #21Meteor Fall

    Keys: One-Handed Sword, Meteor Fall, Martial Arts

    Before executing «Meteor Fall», the user throws their sword upwards. With their now empty hand, the user executes a smooth, but terribly fast punch, aimed at the target's chest with such a great impact that is able to repel the opponent backwards. Then, the user suddenly makes a big jump forward, brandishing their hand over the head, thus reacquiring their sword, which becomes wrapped in the color of a blinding flame. Finally, the skill is concluded with the user cutting down in a straight line with the sword.

    «Avalanche» is a dash skill that is executed from a jōdan (overhead) stance and consists of a single downward vertical slash. As it is a two-handed Sword Skill, it cannot be deflected by just one hit from a one-handed sword.

    Even if the attack were blocked, the defender would be unable to transition to an effective counterattack due to the strong impact of the skill, while if the attack were dodged, the attacker would have plenty of time to prepare for the opponent's move due to the distance gained from the charge.

    In preparation for this skill, the user bends their lower body a little, assuming an overhead position with the sword. Once the sword is dragged a bit back, the Sword Skill is initiated.
