The Smashing Cut is an aerial sword combo finisher in the Lords of Shadow games. It is performed by holding the Area Attack button down while descending and can be performed after any non-finishing aerial attack. The finisher will drag aerial enemies to the ground.
In Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2, Dracula and Alucard first perform their normal Area Attack in the air and then switch the direction of their swing as the sword spins all the way around them.
It is the Void Sword and Crissaegrim's equivalent of the Spinning Chain.

Trivia[]
- Alucard's version has the Crissaegrim spin in a 360° around him. This is a callback to how the Crissaegrim from Castlevania: Symphony of the Night would slash without Alucard needing to hold the weapon.
