Rage Spike

«Rage Spike» (レイジスパイク) is a basic, 1-hit, One-handed Straight Sword category Sword Skill in Sword Art Online, New ALfheim Online, and Project Alicization.

Description
«Rage Spike» is a charge-type skill that allows the user to close a distance of about 10 meters in nearly an instant and consists of a single upward slash from the bottom-right side. However, as it is a basic skill, it deals a very insignificant amount of damage. The skill is similar to «Sonic Leap», except that it has a larger range and its trajectory cannot be aimed towards the sky like «Sonic Leap».

The skill can be activated by keeping the body low and bent forward while placing the sword in a parallel manner to the user's right leg and then drawing the sword back.

Usage

 * Progressive Volume 1 Part 14/Episode 2:
 * Kirito uses «Rage Spike» to charge at Illfang the Kobold Lord before it is able to activate Tsujikaze, because it would be impossible to keep up with that skill after it is launched. Due to the two skills clashing, both Kirito and Illfang suffer a recoil, knocking the two apart. This delay allowed Asuna to use «Linear» on the boss.


 * Volume 1 Chapter 22/Episode 14
 * Kirito uses this skill to test whether Heathcliff was actually an avatar controlled by Kayaba Akihiko. He is able to avoid Heathcliff's shield, but before the sword reaches Heathcliff's chest, an invisible wall stops the attack and an "Immortal Object" prompt comes out exposing his true identity to everyone who saw it.


 * Volume 10 Chapter 4 Part 1:
 * Kirito uses «Rage Spike» during his spar with Sortiliena Serlut to get close to his senior before she is able to pull back her whip and strike at him with it again.
