Sakura Dance

In-Game Description

Combat art that builds momentum in a series of leaping slashes, and can transition into mid-air prosthetic attacks. Costs Spirit Emblems to use. A secret art of the Way of Tomoe, which she performed in her master's honor. The sakura blossoms will soon fall. If you cannot return home, at least allow this dance to console you.

Availability

• Dropped by Inner Genichiro at the end of the Gauntlet of Strength: Divine Heir.

Overview

Consume 1 1 Spirit Emblem per use.

Inflicts three mid-air slashes that can't be fully blocked and that are able to stagger the majority of humanoid enemies.

Once over, it's possible to use a Prosthetic Tool while landing, if the Mid-air Prosthetic Tool Shinobi Martial Art has been unlocked.

Considering how this Combat Art can also execute a Lightning Reversal without damaging Wolf in the process, it's particularly effective when combined with the Loaded Axe.

Alternatively, it can used after a combo of Flame Vent and Living Force.

As with all airborne Combat Arts, it can also be used to dodge Sweep Attacks.
