Kurama Sword Dance Notes

  • This Five hit string does a large amount of health and Ki damage, with excellent tracking, while also gaining the largest amount of Anima out of the non-grapple sword skills. While Sword of Meditation or combinations of attacks can do more or similar damage in the same or less time, Sword rain builds a slightly lower amount of Anima much faster, and Sword Ki does much more Ki damage faster, this attack can do all of that at once. In exchange for having such high utility, it is one of the slowest attacks the sword has.
  • If you are not locked on to an enemy, you can control the movement yourself. You can use this to get the attack to hit enemies on there back for extra damage, even if you initiated the attack from the front.

      this rng drop bs sucks all the fun out of the game. ~lvl 150 and I've killed him so many times now that i can do it in under 15 seconds every time almost purely by muscle memory. Nothing about this is even remotely fun or challenging. Korean mmo tier grindfest. From is lightyears better than ninjaslop in the loot department

        I had to take him down 78 times to get this to drop, even with a luck and gear drop build. The RNG is just rough sometimes

            I can confirm this does drop from Yo****sune in the mission Bond of the Blade as well. I got it on I think my 6th run while farming for the other skill. And if anyone wants to know a farming method, Splitstaff Dragon Dance on DotSa destroys his ki, and it does ridiculous damage if you have a +8 ( what have ) weapon. And +8 seems to be the normal amount for random +value drops on DotD.

            I don't know how good the skill is, just thought I could help maybe 1 person out there.
