Slash (斬撃, Zangeki)? is a recurring element of physical attacks. Where available, this element is generally applied to weapons such as swords used by player characters, as well as certain kinds of skills (such as Deathbound).

Being physical attacks, most Slash skills consume a percentage of HP to use.
