Resurrecting this thread because it’s been bugging me. More specifically, I have determined what is going on:

  • If the Relic Blade is toggled while the sword is in the “stab” position, you can only chain into a Heavy stab. Lights are not possible.
  • All other states in which you can toggle the Relic Blade have proper chains for lights, heavies, and blocking, so I’m not sure what the problem here is. Must be a missing chain.


See attached video. Weapon tested: Relic Blade mk10.

Please consider fixing this soon. Relic blades are cool, and this makes them bizarrely clunky sometimes.
