It is also the only move other than Dust Storm that activates Fidget's projectiles albeit at a faster speed (but smaller timeframe) as well. This attack is useful as a way to clear out enemies below Dust if he misses an "Undoing" combo. ↓ + Y (Aerial) - "The Fallen" Dust slashes down with Ahrah horizontally extended at high speed. It is useful to note that this skill propels Dust upwards slightly when not hitting enemies, and is extremely useful in reaching certain platforms especially when comboed with boost jump. Dust can also use the X combo without the grab. X, X, X, Y (Aerial) - "The Undoing" An aerial version of Ash Bound (note the different key combo), consisting of three slashes followed by a sword-grab after which Dust slams the enemy to the ground at high speed.
X, X, Y, Y - "Ash Bound" A powerful throw combo, consisting of a downward slash, a sideways slash, two uppercuts (on the third key) and a final grab-animation that if successfully grabs a light enemy will throw them to the ground. Press Y one more time to convert this attack into a "The Undoing" combo. X, X, X (Aerial) - Dust's basic aerial combo. The last slash will propel some light enemies away. X, X, X, X - "From Whence it Came" Dust's basic four-combo attack, consisting of a downward slash, a sideways slash, an uppercut and finally a powerful downward slash.
This also works for parries that do not stun targets. X, Y (After parrying) - If X is pressed after a parry, Dust will follow up with the second part of the "Ash Bound" combo, moving forward at great speed to deal two powerful hits and, if Y is pressed afterward, optionally grab and smash the target with Y. X (against an enemy attack) - "Parry" Dust parries the enemy attack with Ahrah, sending both Dust and the target flying back and stunning the target for a short moment. Useful for hitting enemies quickly if they are one-two hittable. Slightly faster than the normal combo but will not move Dust forward. ↓ + X (Ground) - Dust swipes the ground with Ahrah. It can be combined with Fidget's projectiles to unleash powerful attacks (see Fidget). After reaching ground, if Y is still held down Dust will convert the attack into a Dust Storm (Ground). The direction of this move can also be changed by tapping left or right, allowing Dust to pummel enemies with it (especially useful for giants). The attack homes after enemies, allowing it to reach extreme heights if an enemy is above Dust, or cover a lot of ground if enemies are ahead of the screen. Y - (Aerial, Hold) - If used in midair, Dust spins together with Ahrah. Y - (Ground, Hold) - Dust Storm technique, where Dust spins Ahrah and creates a vacuum, which causes constant damage and also attracts items. However, it is useful for chalking up combo hits for bonus experience. It may be useful to note that despite the animation, the ground-based Dust Storm tends to become weaker later in the game except when used with Fidget's projectile attacks. He has several combos that Dust can pull off via the X and Y buttons (or Left and Right mouse buttons, respectively, for the PC), and you can often chain combos together with the right timing, making Ahrah your most potent tool of combat. He will often teach you new combos when you first start out, and since he is your primary weapon, Ahrah sees a LOT of front-line action. The Sword of Ahrah should be a no-brainer to anyone familiar with side-scrolling hack-and-slash games, but this sword has some useful tips since he can talk. When they meet in The Glade, he allows Dust to use him as his weapon. He has been asleep for 200 years, watched over by Fidget, until the mysterious warrior Dust unknowingly summons him. He usually frowns upon any form of unnecessary risk taking and knows much more than he lets on which pertains to his relatively secretive nature. Ahrah is the voice of reason, practicality and logic in the main trio of Dust, Fidget and him.
