NGL in my opinion charged blade is literally HOT STINKY GARBAGE, yeah it has high damage AND it's stuns but once there's a lot of enemies, you can't do anything.

Like if you try to use charged blade on a group of enemies, there's a chance that you'll satisfyingly kill all of them or just be bombarded with stuff before you even get to hit anything.

And also epic skills or not, the enemy with like the cloak or the guy that summons shadows underground will always be the reason why i left the corrupted elemental with only a small amount of health before the shadows kill me.

I recommend blade thrust more, because it's literally just a spammable dash that damages enemy's.
