This list documents all known Sword Skills that are featured in Sword Art Online: Hollow Fragment.

Note: There are no "dash-type" Sword Skills, as engaging in battle usually starts with a dash and a normal attack, depending on the distance between the player and a nearby or targeted enemy. Skills with the Esoteric Skill marker must be unlocked via an in-game DLC quest, while Sword Skills with listed user(s) are NPC Moves and cannot be used by the player. Skills marked as an Ultimate Skill or Esoteric Skill have a special weapon-specific start-up animation before the skill actually plays. Being hit by disabling effects or a strong enough attack mid-animation will cancel the skill with no compensation. For Esoteric Skills, any damage at all will result in the skill being interrupted.

Note 2: The descriptions marked in bold italic are for describing the animation of the Sword skills that Kirito himself is able to perform.
