«Sharp Nail» (シャープネイル, Shāpu Neiru?) is a 3-hit, One-Handed Sword category Sword Skill in Sword Art Online, New ALfheim Online and Project Alicization.

Description

«Sharp Nail» begins with a diagonal slash from the bottom-right to top left, followed by a horizontal slash from left to right.[1] Finally, the skill is ended with another diagonal slash from top-right to bottom-left.[1]

An alternative execution of the skill begins with a nearly vertical slash from the user's left shoulder, hitting the target's right side, after which the sword instantly shoots back into a high position and slashes vertically again, hitting the target's left side, then leaps up again and slashes vertically at the centre of the target.[2]
