Notes

  • It is likely that "severe damage" refers to attacks that do most of your HP in damage per the description of Earthen Armor (>75%), Migawari: Ichi (>75~100% depending on Ninjutsu skill), and Sentinel's Scherzo (>75%).
  • This ability's potency increases accuracy and evasion upon activation and then each tick:
    • +3 Accuracy/Evasion upon activation.
      • The equipment modifier adds to this base bonus (3 + X*3) where each X+ is a ticks worth.
        • E.g. +9 from the Mitons +3 would result in +30 Acc/Evasion upon activation.
    • +3/tick for a player regardless of being main or sub RUN.
  • Caps at +60 Evasion/Accuracy regardless of being main or sub RUN.
