Curseblade’s Cirque

Curseblade’s Cirque is a Shadow of the Erdtree Backhand Blade: a pair of circular blades with wavy, pointed edges. It deals physical damage, causes blood loss buildup and scales mainly with Dexterity, so it suits a nimble Dexterity build.

Its unique skill, Deadly Dance, is an aggressive spinning attack with a blade in each hand, with an optional axe-kick follow-up.
