Attribute	Reflexes
Tier	Phenom (15)
Levels	1
Requires	Finisher: Bladerunner
Affects	Only affects Blades

Flash Of Steel turns a finished kill into speed. For several seconds after a finisher V moves and attacks much faster, which carries the momentum into whoever is standing next. It is part of the blade branch of the Reflexes tree. In a crowd it chains one kill into the next.

Effect

---

Both numbers help the same plan. Faster movement closes the gap to the next enemy and faster attacks mean the next kill comes sooner, which can bring another finisher inside the same window.

Against a single enemy the perk does nothing, because the fight is already over. Against a group it is the difference between clearing a room in one pass and clearing it in several.

Character Builds

---

It suits a blade Reflexes build fighting groups rather than single enemies, since the window it opens is spent reaching the next target.

Buy it at the Phenom gate from Finisher: Bladerunner, with Going The Distance in the same visit. One speeds V up and the other means less of that speed is needed, and together they turn a finisher into the start of a chain rather than the end of a fight.

Notes

---

Going The Distance doubles finisher range, which makes the next target reachable inside the window this perk opens.

Opportunist makes weakened enemies easier to finish, so the chain is easier to start again.
