Exploit the Opening - If you have used the 'Create an Opening' maneuver on this turn and the target failed their save, you may use this maneuver to give yourself Advantage and AP III for your next attack.
Feint - Make a shimmering motion with the weapon in your main hand against an opponent in melee range as a Bonus Action to goad them into attacking more predictably.

Parry - When an opponent attempts to attack you in Melee range, you may use this weapon if it is in your main hand or offhand to attempt to intercept the attack and use your Reaction.

When you are wielding this weapon in each hand, you have Advantage on the Parry roll.
