Hint: Sword wave:
Draw your sword and press X (jump) just before the downslash. If done
correctly, you will fire the fabled "wave" that all of the higher
ranked ACs use. To fire the "blue wave of mass destruction", simply do
this trick with the Moonlight blade. It can do over 1000 AP worth of damage.
