Flurry, Slash, and Slice Weapon Roles Verified in Hands-On

Xbox Wire’s hands-on identifies Flurry as fast dual daggers, Slash as a wide crowd-facing scythe, and Slice as a high single-target axe with a back-attack bonus.

What was confirmed

These observations correct role confusion and provide three distinct database records based on a played preview rather than trailer silhouettes. This report isolates that specific official update so it can be linked from the matching navigation topic without turning a dated announcement into an unsupported all-purpose claim.

Exact damage, speed frames, upgrade nodes, unlock costs, combo routes, and release-build balance can still change. The distinction is important before release: confirmed mechanics, storefront capabilities, preview observations, and details still awaiting retail verification are recorded separately.

The connected evergreen guide and FAQ cluster use this source as evidence, while final values, menu behavior, performance, quest counts, and balance-dependent recommendations remain subject to the shipped build. If Remedy or a first-party store changes the underlying information, the dated report remains the historical record and the current guide is revised.

Key takeaways

• Flurry uses dual daggers
• Slash is a wide scythe
• Slice is a single-target axe
