Tràkata is is a Combat Style, and an unorthodox one at that. The style is based around the unique ability of lightsabers to turn on and off, activating and deactivating the blade in the heat of combat to slip past enemy defenses, or trick them into over-extending themselves. Philosophically, Tràkata involves practical combat and deception, rather than the more traditional single-minded and determined tactics that were the hallmarks of the standard forms. Sith had difficulty applying this style, as their power came from passion and rage rather than level-headed tactical ingenuity, and the Jedi refrained from this style due to their unwillingness to rely on deception.

When using Pass the Blade to execute an offensive Direct Combat Action, the Direct Combat Action gives +3 instead of the normal +2, however, you take a -1 on blocking and deflecting.
(Slashing +○ / Cutting +● / Piercing +● | Dodging +○ / Blocking +○ / Deflecting +○)
When you successfully block a melee attack of an opponent with a higher Blocking score than the attack, and no other ring is overcome, the opponent loses an advantage action of her choice. As usual, the advantage action is still in effect until the round is ended.
(Slashing +○ / Cutting +○ / Piercing +○ | Dodging +○ / Blocking +●● / Deflecting +○)
When attacked by multiple opponents, instead of attacking your Dodge rating with their combined maximum score, they attack with their combined minimum score. This manoeuvre requires dual-wielded blades.
