Flurry, Slash, and Slice Identified as Primary Aberrant Forms

The opening build decision presents three named primary Aberrant forms: Flurry, Slash, and Slice. The official Xbox hands-on gives each form a distinct attack profile rather than treating them as cosmetic variants.

What was confirmed

Flurry becomes fast close-range twin daggers with an increased critical chance. Slash uses broad scythe swings to pressure groups. Slice takes the form of a high single-target damage axe that gains bonus damage when attacking from behind.

The initial choice is mutually exclusive at that moment, but the preview states that the other weapons can be unlocked later. This makes the opening decision a first specialization step rather than a permanent loss of two complete weapon families.

These names and roles are suitable for the database because a first-party preview directly tested them. Final damage numbers, upgrade trees, animation timing, and best-form rankings still require the launch build and should not be inferred from the preview alone.

Key takeaways

• Flurry favors speed and critical hits
• Slash covers groups with wide attacks
• Slice emphasizes single-target and back damage
