Petal Flurry
Petal Flurry is one of the best-documented skill essences, sitting in the Speed group with a full stat block on record. It is obtained from raids, and equipping it demands Level 55 and 135 Speed - placing it in the mid-tier of the Speed progression, between skill-tree entries like Afterimage Slash (124 Speed) and Judgement Cut (165 Speed).
Its documented numbers: 28.0 Reiatsu cost, 38 cooldown, 35 damage, and 30 posture damage. The near-even split between damage and posture damage makes it a flexible pressure tool rather than a pure damage or pure guard-break skill.
The skill is confirmed rushdownable, meaning it can flow into rushdown follow-ups, and the community notes it may also be Z-steppable - that second property carries a question mark in the documentation, so treat it as unverified and subject to change per current documentation. No variant behavior or upgrade milestones are documented for the essence.
