■ Main Pre-Awakening Skills (only applicable in PvE)


Tendon Cutter (★★★★★)

Kunoichi's primary DPS skill. With a decent AoE and additional Down Attack damage, this skill is great for knocked down enemies. This skill slashes multiple times while moving left, right, and forward. After practicing with the in-game mechanics, you can move your character in the direction you want. If you want to focus your attack on the enemy on the left side, sharply move your mouse to the left. Casting this skill puts your character in the Super Armor status, and this is great for dealing damage while you are under the enemies’ CC skill.


Ninjutsu: Black Moonlight (★★★★★)

Kunoichi’s secondary DPS skill. Casting is fast, and the delay before/after the cast is quite short. Unlike the in-game skill effect, this skill has pretty decent range. Just like Tendon Cutter, this skill has additional Down Attack damage and puts the character in the Super Armor status while casting.
The Super Armor status ends quickly due to the quick skill casting time.



Ninjutsu: Shadow Stomp (★★★★★)

Kunoichi’s tertiary DPS skill. This skill has additional Air Attack damage, has the highest damage output, and strikes forward in a straight line. Casting with a simple skill command will prolong the delay before the skill is cast. By performing Kunai Throw and Shadow Stomp, in that order, you can cast with no delay. Get the maximum effect of this skill by gathering the enemies in one line while stepping backwards. (Skill Add-on Increases AP by 20 / Attack Speed by 10%)

 
▲Simple Shadow Stomp       

 
▲Casting delay cancelled by Kunai Throw 



Ninjutsu: Shadow Clone (★★★★★) 

The only life steal skill that Kunoichi has. You can use it after Shadow Stomp. Cast this skill by pressing the space bar after casting Shadow Stomp. By adding Shadow Clone in the skill window, you can cast it whenever you want within 6 seconds after casting Shadow Stomp. This skill has both additional Air Attack and Down Attack damage, but the Air Attack can be considered negligible because you need to cast this skill right after casting Shadow Stomp. The highest amount of life steal is 150, regardless of the number of enemies damaged.


▲By adding Shadow Clone in the hotkeys, you can cast it whenever you want to within 6 seconds after casting any Skill!


Flash Slash (★★★★★)

This skill requires 100% Black Spirit’s Rage. This skill is often used in the fields for low-level characters or on weak enemies, even though Black Spirit’s Rage is not at 100%. The delay before casting is quite long, but the character will be invincible in invisible mode. You can cancel this skill if you think you might take damage while casting.


▲If things get dangerous, don’t be afraid to cancel after landing.


▲You can also cancel your invincibility while going invisible during Flash Slash.


Kunai Stab-Fatal Blow-Flow: Fatal Blow Combo (★★★★★)
 
You can only use this skill when equipped with Kunai. This skill has decent damage, so use it on the enemies with a bit of HP left since it can be casted while under cooldown. Cast this skill automatically by pressing both mouse buttons at the same time. 



Shadow Slash (★★★★★)
 
Strike enemies from behind, while filling up WP and increasing your Attack Speed. This skill is the key to the Kunoichi’s mobility in PvEs. (Skill Add-on Increases AP by 20 / Recovers 10 HP per strike)


▲  How to quickly fill up your Energy.

1 Shadow Slash – Basic Attack – 1 Shadow Slash – Basic Attack
Perform the sequence above with the right amount of speed. If you do it too fast, basic attacks will be cancelled and only Shadow Slash will be cast. You can easily do this with a little practice.


Suicide Fall (★★★★★)
 
Grab the enemy, jump with it into the air, and bring it crashing to the ground. Many people think this skill is mainly for PvP, but you can also grab a ranged enemy and crash land from high ground, and knock down enemies around the grappled enemy. (You can also cancel the enemy attacks.) I recommend this skill because it has low cooldown, takes fewer skill points, and most of Kunoichi’s skill combos are made of Down Attacks. You become invincible while casting, and you can use this skill while in the air. Together with Floor Sweeping and Ankle Cutter, you can knock down enemies that cannot be knocked down.



Fox Claw (★★★★★)

You can use this Skill without cooldown, and deal additional Down Attack damage. It’s one of the Kunoichi’s main Skills!

 

■ Other Must-have Skills


Target Chase (★★★★★): Perfect skill for Kunoichi’s mobility when moving or fighting

Ghost Step (★★★★★): This will be your most-used skill. Use it to cancel skills or dodge.

Brace (★★★★★): This skill recovers WP instantly.

Floor Sweeping, Ankle Cutter (★★★★★): Floor Sweeping (Increases Down Attack damage by 10%) / Ankle Cutter (Reduce all Defense of enemies by 20.) Don’t forget to cast these two skills before performing your combos!
(Ankle Cutter Skill Add-on Increases Attack Damage by 25 / Increases Critical Hit Rate by 20%)

You must master all your Passive Skills.

■ Awakening Skills 


Sah Chakram Training (☆)

Basic attack. Since the attack motion is slow and the damage is minimal, don’t use any points for it.


 Sah Spree of Sonan (★★★☆☆)

This skill has mediocre damage and a pretty long delay before casting. Although you can cancel the delay before casting by skill cancelling, don’t put any points in this skill if you don’t have enough points.


▲Cancel the delay before casting by performing a basic attack with the right mouse button.


Lunar Dash (★★★★★)

This skill lets you dash to distant enemies. It’s decent as it changes from Short Sword to Chakram instantly.

 

Half Moon Slash (★★★★★)

This skill is one of the Kunoichi’s strongest skills. It has decent damage, and it’s easy to use because it consumes WP instead of Stamina. Unlike Shadow Slash, this skill refills WP when off cooldown, so it’s important that you fill up WP with Brace or Kunai Block. (Skill Add-on Increases AP by 20 / Absorb 3 HP per strike)


▲Think of this skill as Shadow Slash but with a Chakram.


Lethal Spin Spree (★★★★★)

Another one of the Kunoichi’s strongest skills. Since this skill has decent damage and life steal, you can hunt enemies without any potions in the hunting grounds, given you have a high enough level and have the right gear. Don’t rely on it too much, though, because it has a long cooldown.(Skill Awakening Increases Attack Speed by 4% / Recover 6 WP per strike.)


▲Skill at 200% Black Spirit


Wheel of Wrath (★★★★★)

This skill has pretty good damage. Some users don’t like this skill because of the long delay before casting and the long skill animation, but it’s quite useful since it has Forward Guard when casting and 100% Critical Hit Rate when it hits. You can even use it during cooldown. (Forward Guard effect is removed when used during cooldown.)


▲Skill at 100% Black Spirit


Halo (★★★★★)

You can cast this skill by pressing the space bar while casting any other skills. It can deal strong damage and can be used to cancel other skills. The number of hits increases when using the Skills with Awakening Buffs.


Danse Macabre (★★★★☆)

The Second dash skill that throws the Chakram forward. You’ll dash toward the area where the Chakram lands. Strong damage & 100% Critical Hit. 


▲You become invincible for a short time while you are invisible.


Delighted Blast (★★☆☆☆)

This skill shoots the fully charged energy of the Chakram, which explodes and deals AOE damage in a circular area around the enemy hit. The skill tool tip shows that this skill has the highest damage, but it’s not really 100% true... It’s probably because the damage is shared among the enemies affected. Enemies hit by Delighted Blast get knocked back. Enemies hit by Delighted Blast, followed by the Lunatic Discus, are damaged from both skills. It’s not easy to hit enemies like that—it’s probably because the AOE range of Delighted Blast is extremely small. 


Lunatic Discus (★★★☆☆)

If enemies are hit and fully affected by the skill, it deals a lot of damage. But the enemies that are resistant to CC, such as Basilisk and Pillar-Ku, will receive fewer hits since they are not knocked back easily. It’s better to perform the Delighted Blast → Lunatic Discus combo. You can change your direction by holding the Ctrl key and clicking on the ground after casting the skill with the click-to-move option on.


Chain Crash: Sah Chakram (★★★☆☆)

This skill is great for killing off the enemies that only have a small amount of health after performing combos. This skill can’t be used as one of your main skills since the damage is quite weak and the cooldown is 15 seconds long. You can change your direction by holding the Ctrl key and clicking on the ground after casting the skill with the click-to-move option on.
