How to Obtain

You must first break the Qutrub's right hand weapon. It will only use the skill while it no longer has a weapon. If you break its second weapon, it will no longer use Spinal Cleave, however occasionally it will put its weapon away and continue to fight using H2H.

• Trust: Lilisette II has an extremely high critical rate and is very likely to break the weapon.

Facing the target from the front seems to be the best way to break its first weapon. A random critical hit or multi-hit weapon skill will make it drop its first weapon. Dancer 'steps' seem to have a very high chance of breaking both the first and second weapon, this can be very helpful if you have a dnc friend to help you.

If using a weaponskill to break its weapon, you want to time the execution for when it is performing an auto-attack swing (aim for just before due to lag).
