Tips and Details

This skill is useful for when you need to quickly avoid an oncoming attack.
If you hold the arrow key in the direction you're moving, you will immediately start dashing after Shadow Step ends.
If Shadow Step is used off a platform, Raven will glide through the air for the duration of the skill.
The distance traveled is affected by your Movement Speed and any Status Effects that would affect it.
Both the thrust and the falling bombs can be countered.
Each bomb that doesn't hit a target will leave behind a flame.
Shadow Step can be used in midair.

Trivia

Though the use of grenades is a trait belonging solely to the Nova Imperator job path, due to Shadow Backslide being incorporated as Shadow Step's [Enhanced] effect, all of Raven's paths have access to them.
