This list is missing "Lasting Wound" it's a rapier move, I know it's on the weapon 'Misericorde' Forward, back, forward, attack. Quickly cuts a Z just like Zorro

tbh what's the point of having them if they are so damn hard to use properly?
Can I ask that this page be searchable under techniques?
The way it stands it is hard to find because it isn't called movesets in game.
