Canvander
Canvander is a Legendary sword built around speed, mobility, and aggressive repositioning. Its moveset focuses heavily on dash based attacks, allowing users to quickly close gaps, chase opponents, and maintain pressure during fights. This makes it especially appealing for players who prefer fast, evasive playstyles over slower weapons centered on raw burst damage.
In PvP, Canvander performs well thanks to its high mobility, straightforward aiming, and strong ability to drain Instinct dodges. Its fast movement makes it effective for catching escaping opponents and creating openings through constant pressure. While often underrated and less common in meta builds, it can be very effective in skilled hands.
Its weaknesses become more noticeable in grinding and combo heavy play. The dash based M1 chain can make farming less comfortable by constantly shifting positioning, while its smaller hitboxes reduce consistency compared to swords with wider attacks. It also offers relatively limited combo potential, making it less flexible than more popular high tier swords.

Strengths & Weaknesses
A quick breakdown of where this build shines and struggles.
Strengths
Excellent mobility; great for chasing, escaping, and repositioning in PvP.
Very easy to aim compared to many mobility-based swords.
Strong Instinct drain, especially when chaining both skills quickly.
[Z] Piercing Dash has almost no end-lag, enabling very fast follow-ups.
[X] Scattering Gust offers good range and can pressure enemies from a safe distance.
Weaknesses
Useless against Blade users.
Poor for grinding because dash-based M1s make farming awkward.
[Z] has short range and a small hitbox, so misses can be punishing.
[X] is inconsistent since landing every projectile is difficult.
Limited combo reliability compared to heavier combo swords.
Verdict
Canvander is a fast, mobility-focused sword best suited for aggressive PvP and hit-and-run playstyles. It excels at pressure and Instinct draining, but weak grinding performance and inconsistent combo potential keep it from being top tier. Great if you value speed over raw damage.
