Stagger is what we refer to when attacks stall enemies' startup animations at the last frame by a bit so attacks come out later (not interrupt, that's either breach or launching).

Stagger is entirely dependent on endlag (animation lock after attacking). Pure nail has a crapton of endlag but is a special case where its 0.3 seconds of endlag only applies to itself. This lets you do some very stupid things when attacking with another weapon during the pure nail endlag.

Spite sword just is a good fit moveset wise, has vengeance shenanigans, some endlag and thus stagger of its own and launches/stuns natively with its kick. Even if an enemy/boss is already stun immune the launch can still interrupt if it's "light" enough.

This, plus upslash shenanigans and Electrodynamics burst damage, means we kill HOTK before he can phase change, looking MIGHTY SUS in the process because even though he completed his thrust animation, so much stagger stacked up that the actual thrust hitbox didn't come out and he couldn't activate his minion phase before he died :(

You can tell Foresight didn't absorb the hit because it immediately started at 0 charge.
