Effect

Coen rushes toward a target, dealing burst damage and stunning enemies caught in the path. August 2026 coverage adds that the stun prevents the target counter-attacking, which makes it an opener rather than only a gap-closer. The walkthrough settles the cross-form question outright: the narration calls Charge an ability shared between human and vampire form, and uses it in both. That makes Swordmastery the bridge between the day and night kits rather than a daytime-only tree — a real consideration when points are scarce, because a Swordmastery point can be a night point too. It is also shown answering a specific problem. When an enemy blocks and breaks Coen's attack chain, Charge goes in to deny the counter that would otherwise follow. Against a weak enough opponent it simply stuns them outright.

Manual required — Charge ManualAwarded for completing the prologue quest Like Father, Like Son. Because the prologue is fixed setup rather than a routing decision, this is the one Swordmastery unlock a plan can assume it already has. Finding the book costs no skill points and no training time; the purchase afterwards costs both.
