Tips and Details

The skill will only deal full hits when used at point blank, due to the spear starting to deal damage the moment it leaves Ara's hands.
Shadoweave will follow curves in the map, and can hit enemies up to a platform above you, but has no downward range at all.
- It also has a decent amount of reach into the fore- and background, allowing it to hit enemies in certain sections of dungeons such as Forgotten Elrian Sanctum
Enemies hit will be forcibly pulled along with the spear into the center of the skill, including when it returns back to Ara, making it excellent for gathering enemies.
Enemies near Ara will receive hitstun from a non-damaging hit the moment she catches her spear and the skill's skill delay ends, even if they were not hit by the Shadoweave portion of the skill at all.
The range of the final hit is deceptively large, hitting enemies quite a bit further away than the orange/black swing visual that appears around Ara as she swings forward. This also means it can hit enemies behind her.
- It can also hit enemies a platform below her, and 2 platforms above her.
- As the hitbox of the final hit moves alongside Ara, falling off of a platform with it can catch unsuspecting enemies below you.
Due to the lengthy delay after the skill when not cancelled, you are usually unable to catch enemies launched away by the final hit, unless they are launched away from 2 platforms above you, after which you can potentially catch with a skill like Wolf Stance 2: Wind Wedge.
This skill is affected by the Free Training hit count error:
- By default, Shadoweave will deal 13 hits instead of 12.
- With the Useful trait, Shadoweave will deal 26 hits instead of 24.

Trivia

In the original design, Shadoweave was called 결영 (結影).
