Guide
Stance Change - Passive Ability
Aegislash can switch between Sword Stance and Shield Stance. Using a blade move switches stance to Sword Stance; which increases Attack, movement speed by 5%, and Attack Speed by 15%. Using a shield move switches stance to Shield Stance; which increases Defense and Sp. Defense and reduces Attack Speed by 20%. When switching into sword stance from shield stance, movement speed and basic attack speed are further increased by 15% for 3.5s.
Attack - Auto Attack
Slash at enemies in front of Aegislash, dealing damage to them. If the boost count is one or more, auto attacks become a boosted attack. When in Sword Stance or No Guard: pierce through enemies, dealing damage. When in Shield Stance: ram enemies, dealing damage and leaving them unable to act for .1s, restore HP, and reduce the cooldown of Sacred Sword and Shadow Claw by 1s when this attack hits. Every boosted attack consumes one boost count. Up to 4 boosted attacks can be stored.
Level 11
Increases Critical-Hit Rate by 20% for 1s (This move does not benefit).
Shadow Claw - Dash (5.5s cd)
Level 5 - Aegislash slashes with its blade twice in the designated direction, dealing damage to enemies hit. Follow up with a final rising slash that deals damage to enemies hit and throws them in the air for .75s. Boost count increases by 1 when at least one of the three slashes hits.
Damage - First 2 Hits: 68% Atk + 3 x (Level - 1) + 70
Damage - Third Hit: 136% Atk + 6 x (Level - 1) + 140
Level 11 - Increases Critical-Hit Rate by 20% for 1s (This move does not benefit).
Wide Guard - Buff (9s cd)
Level 7 - Focus in place for a short time to create a great shield on Aegislash for 1.2s. When this great shield appears, boost count increases by 1, grants a shield to Aegislash and shoves enemies in front. While the shield persists, Aegislash is Unstoppable and incoming damage increases boost count by 1 for each different source (capping at 2). When this move ends, shove enemies for .75s in front of Aegislash once again and slow them by 45% for 2s. Gain 1 boosted count if the shove at the end hits at least one enemy. If the great shield is depleted before the duration of this move ends, the boosted count is granted regardless of whether an enemy is hit.
Level 13 - Cooldown reduced by 1s.
Coup de Grace - Area (100s cd)
Level 9 - Unleash a ground-splitting slash in the designated direction dealing damage to enemies hit and switching to Sword Stance. The lower their remaining HP, the more damage this move deals. If this slash knocks out an enemy, boost count increases by 2. Aegislash is unstoppable during this move.

Against Wild Pokémon: The additional damage from missing HP is capped at 1000.
