A GRAPPLE THAT RESTRAINS A SLASHER IN ORDER TO ALLOW A FOLLOW-UP ATTACK. A SLASHER CAUGHT IN A HOLD MUST ESCAPE BEFORE RESUMING BATTLE. ALL SLASHERS CAN PERFORM HOLDS.

WHILE A SLASHER IS HELD, THEY WILL ABSORB DAMAGE MEANT FOR THEIR CAPTOR. ADDITIONALLY, ATTACKS AGAINST HELD SLASHERS BECOME AUGMENTED. THE CAPTOR CAN ATTACK THEM REGARDLESS OF RANGE, AND INFLICT FREE DAMAGE UPON THEM ON THEIR ACTIONS (KNOWN AS "TWISTING THE BLADE").

THE DEPTH AND ADVANTAGES OF AMPUTHEATRE'S HOLD SYSTEM AWAIT ITS EXPERT PLAYERS.
