Tips and Details

Targets will be StunnedStunned on the initial hit instead of receiving hitstun.
- This stun can be countered.
This skill can only hit enemies on the same level as the caster or higher.
Demon Strike launches enemies on hit, making it especially annoying to use on bosses like Victoria or Kusharta, who are typically too heavy to re-catch with skills or combos before they are knocked down.
The sound and the visuals often desync from the actual hitbox and animation with a fair amount of Action Speed buffs.
After learning Demonic Authority, Darkness Demon will spawn at a 100% rate while under the effects of Power of Oriax.

Trivia

This demon, or a robotic recreation of it, is also summoned by Tarith to aid him during the fight in Queen's Throne Hall, where it has an identical fighting style to Summon Darkness.
