Dash Attack (lvl.1)Best Dash Attk in the GameHits grounded enemies and bouncesinvincible (from natural dash)Semi-Super Armor (from attack)

Ankle Kick (lvl.3 to get titan step)I suggest locking this skill in the skill menu to easily perform titan step

Titan Step (lvl.1)Brief Semi-Super ArmorHits grounded enemies and throws upnote-dont level it past 1 since it increases the animation and u cant cancel the attack, if ur enemy escapes, it will cost u, best to keep it at 1.

Blade Charge (lvl.Max)Gap Closerguard breaksinvincible at start

Change Upper (lvl.0/1 for preference)i dont find the skill worth investing all the points of stonebreaker for this just to get a knock up and stance change, only good for charging bp, if u use stonebreaker as part of ur combo, go for it.
