Overview

The Stiletto; Bayonetta rushes forwards. The move boasts moderate kill power, being able to KO middleweights at about 170%, quickly travels a far distance (slightly more than 1/3 of Final Destination), has moderately low ending lag, and can cross up shields at point blank range. However, it comes out rather slow and possesses no combo potential whatsoever, limiting its uses to cover landings, tech-chasing in some scenarios, and scoring a KO at high percents. Albeit not exactly a bad move, it gets outclassed by Bayonetta's other moves.
