Spin Slash (Twinblades)

Spin Slash is a skill in Dark Souls III.

Description
This variant of Spin Slash is shared by the paired curved swords.

The wielder brings both blades together into a counter-clockwise spin. Performing a strong attack while the first spin is in motion will execute a second, stronger spin with a wider arc, bringing one blade shortly after the other.

Single Player
While twinblades are adept at inflicting a flurry of attacks on unfortunate targets, each individual swing can lack impact due to being based on light curved swords. This skill brings power to the table, allowing the wielder to deal more and focused damage in the same window of time that they could use the paired attacks, as both blades are brought to bear almost simultaneously rather than swinging in separate arcs.

Online
The weapon art for the paired curved swords inflicts greater Poise damage than the two-handed attacks, and the close spacing of the blades increases the odds that both will hit the same target, which can be useful for trying to stagger targets out of their Hyper Armor. Like the Scimitar-type Spin Slash, it cannot be parried, which is important due to twinblade-type weapons giving opponents twice the number of parry windows, one for each swing of the paired attacks.
