Sword Tip
Each landed hit adds a sword-tip stack, shown on the buff bar. At six stacks the buff turns blue and a sword-tip strike becomes available, spent with both attack inputs together. Talent nodes raise the rate of gain and open stages beyond the first.

Where this comes from
DrybearGamers — Which Class to Play in Mistfall Hunter — opens at 05:30, where the skill is explained.
When to use it
The stance is built on this. A sword-and-shield Mercenary played without spending sword tip is giving up where its damage actually comes from.
Builds using this
No build on this site currently lists this skill. It is documented here because a source describes it, not because a creator built around it.
