Description

Shadow Bunshin.png
集めたモンスターの魂を自分の分身に変化させ、ターゲット単体を攻撃するスキル。

自分のスタミナが多い場合、多くのスタミナを消耗する代わりに分身たちがより活発に動いて敵に大きなダメージを与える。 一度使い終わると、モンスターの魂を集めなければ再使用できない。

Details

  • Was once only available in the Japan and Taiwan servers, prior to Generation 17, Season 4 Update.
  • Instantly teleports to the target to attack with multiple clones.
    • You will need souls depending on the skill's rank.
      • Souls are automatically obtained from defeating enemies, including Barrier Spikes or other players through PvP.
        • As souls are gathered, the skill icon will be partly shaded.
          • Attempting to use the skill when unavailable results the message "You need # more monster souls".
        • Souls are gathered regardless of enemy Combat Power.
        • Souls are not collected from enemies defeated by pets nor marionettes.
        • Souls are collected from finishing blows, rather than killing blows.
      • Souls will not stack past the maximum amount allowed by the current skill rank.
      • The number of clones generated is dependent on the skill rank.
      • Logging out or changing channels will reset the number of collected souls to 0.
    • Critical Hit Rate is calculated separately for each hit.
    • The last clone's hit will push the target back.
  • Movement is not possible while the skill is loaded.
    • The player is free to move and use other skills while the clones are attacking.
  • The skill uses 12 Stamina upon activation, then an additional 7% of your current Stamina is consumed when attacking.
  • Damage is calculated as [(Remaining Stamina * 0.21) + Shadow Bunshin Damage] * (# of Attacks)
    • Thus, the more Stamina the player has, the more damage the skill will do.
    • The equipped weapon has no effect on the skill's damage.
  • The user is invulnerable to attack during their real body's attack animation.
  • Can be used to hit Wyverns.
  • Ignores Protection when calculating Critical Hit.
  • Ignores Defense, Counterattack, Lance Counter.
  • Cannot be countered by Windmill.
  • Each hit receives the same amount of Proficiency, but consumes the same amount of Durability of weapons.
  • Can be used during many skills' animation delay, as well as after triggering Defense and Auto Defense (Melee), and also while being attacked or knocked down.

Obtaining the Skill

  • Relog or change channels when your total Strength is over 150. An owl will deliver the quest 「また別の自我」 (Another Self).
  • Talk to Kousai in Courcle.
  • Go into the Ghost of Partholon Shadow Mission on any difficulty and obtain Spirit Crystals.
    • Spirit Crystals can be obtained in later rooms of the shadow mission.
    • The quest dialogue tells you to possess enemies with it, but you may either target fellow party members, pets, or other monsters that are not possessed (e.g. Partholon Ghost). The count will go up, even though the usage fails.
  • Talk to Kousai again.
  • Kousai will send you off on a quest to kill 100 monsters.
    • It does not matter what type of monster it is, so long that you land the finishing blow. Pet finishes will count towards this requirement.
  • Report to Kousai.
  • Complete the Shadow Cast City Shadow Mission on Advanced difficulty or higher. You must be the one to finish the Doppelganger.

Trivia

  • "Bunshin" means "Clone" in Japanese. Thus, the skill translates to "Shadow Clone".
  • This skill was later rebalanced, costing 316 AP total versus 173 AP total, no longer gains Proficiency nor loses uses Durability, uses 8 Stamina for loading verses 12, no longer has a load time, and can be usable at Novice Rank. Additionally, the skill was moved from the Combat Skills tab to the Hidden Talent Skills tab and the quest to acquire the skill was changed. For the rebalanced version, see Doppelganger.
