Strikeborn Guts / Black Swordsman Guide

1. Land 3 basic attacks into downslam
2. Walk forward and connect the next hit
3. Use the backward variant of move 4
4. Backdash while keeping the target in the hit
5. Side dash back into the target and restart basic attacks

Open the Guts archive card to read one step at a time, save the reference, or edit a personal copy. This is the same historical record, not a newly verified route.

Use Practice results to count your own attempts separately from the source record.

Needs Retest — do not teach the old trigger as settled.

The public description of Kloqei’s newer early-access guide retracts an earlier explanation that the Guts front-dash uppercut variant activates by holding backward during the front dash. The accessible description only begins to suggest a run-dash condition and does not provide a complete reproducible replacement input.

This correction does not invalidate the separately recorded backward move-four route on this page. It only means that the front-dash uppercut trigger must remain unverified until a complete current-build demonstration shows:

• the starting movement state;
• the exact direction held;
• the dash type;
• the attack timing;
• the visible success cue;
• at least one failed comparison;
• the device and build date.

Read the shared correction context and compare recorded variants.

1. Control spacing first

   Use the visible sword reach to learn a stable grounded confirm before testing variants.

2. Practise the backward branch alone

   Repeat the move-four backward variant from neutral so the direction is not discovered mid-combo.

3. Keep the target visible

   The recorded route uses a backdash while maintaining contact, then a side-dash return.

4. Shorten near crowds

   End after the backward variant when the full movement loop would leave you exposed.

5. Treat Berserker as dated footage

   Do not assume activation, duration, or current move completeness from the segment alone.
