- Sword Swing: This is the common attack by Sword Mater which he is doing most of the time. He simply hit you with your sword which you can avoid or react quite easily.
- Red Eye Sword Swing: This is the uninterrupted attack by the Sword Master which cannot be parryed. He lunges toward you with his sword to hit you hard while his eyes glow red. Keep some distance from him when you see his eyes glowing red to avoid the attack range and come back to give him several hits.
- Sword Swing Combo: He moves toward you to land a 3x Sword Combo attack on you which you can parry or doge.
