Tips and Details

• Possible bug: The skill's tooltip claims knockdown will only be reduced once, as the installed shadow section does not mention it again and it is listed below the damage step rather than the Shadow debuff effect. However, it actually reduces Knockdown continuously every second while an enemy is affected by the debuff, allowing you to attack at leisure, never allowing the enemy to reach the Knockdown Limit (until they either die or Mana Break).
• The debuff's 3 second duration will only apply the moment an enemy leaves the shadow's area, and is meant to give it some leeway due to its small area.
• The shadow's initial hit is not limited to the actual casting animation, meaning when an enemy collides with the shadow for the first time, even if the shadow has already been installed, they will still be damaged and take hitstun.

Trivia

• After the 2015 Skill Tree Revamp, this skill's icon still retains the character silhouette of Noblesse, despite the skill being moved to Royal Guard.
• The skill visual will always depict Ciel in his Royal Guard promotional outfit and Lu in her Noblesse promotional outfit.
