The player may utilize this ability by catching and releasing a Harvester, Spizzner, or Nix.

It does Wind-elemental damage to all enemies and hits both sides in a pincer attack, has 48 spell power and is unblockable. The Kazekiri has a chance of casting Wind Slash when the holder attacks; casting Wind Slash from the Kazekiri as an Added Ability replaces the weapon's attack rather than being cast in addition to it, and will not be disabled by the Master's Scroll.

Some enemies use Wind Slash and there is also a weaker version of the attack called Gale Cut.

Etymology

In the Japanese version, Wind Slash is called Kamaitachi. [view · edit · purge]Kamaitachi (literally known as "Sickle Weasel") is a Japanese yōkai often told about in the Kōshin'etsu region, or can also refer to the strange events that this creature causes. They appear riding on dust devils, and they cut people using the nails on both their hands that are like sickles. One would receive a sharp wound from it, but there is no pain.
