Related actions

• Hissatsu: Chiten (PvP)

Notes

• This action inflicts 100% of the target's base maximum HP if the target is afflicted with Kuzushi; targets with a shield surpassing their base maximum HP will survive.
  • Kuzushi is applied to attackers if the samurai is under the effect of Chiten.
  • The damage dealt through this method is unique, meaning it cannot be mitigated by any means (i.e. Guard), with the exception of barrier effects.
• Damage dealt to targets not under the effect of Kuzushi can be mitigated normally, with the exception of Guard.
• Opponents who are immune (i.e. paladins under the effect of Hallowed Ground from Phalanx (PvP)) will not take damage from this attack, even if they are under the effect of Kuzushi.
