Xiao Jie carefully considered the effects of this skill, Eight-Stage Attack, 50% weapon damage, totaling 400% weapon damage when fully executed, which was only slightly higher than One Cut, Two Pieces.
For a secret technique, it seemed a bit weak, its single-target lethality wasn't notably high, but it was quite useful for attacking groups.
However, based on Xiao Jie's experience, he had figured out two ways to maximize the damage.
One was to use a weapon that had a chance of triggering special attack effects like bleeding or poisoning.
With Wind Roll Cloud, he could deal eight segments of damage in one go, easily triggering several special effects, and that would significantly increase the damage.
The second was to simply use a Two-Handed Greatsword, these types of weapons dealt much more damage than One-handed Blades, although they were slower and somewhat cumbersome for regular attacks, they were very practical when combined with a secret technique for dealing skill damage.
