Usagestance iai
Iai is the duelist, the sword drawn and cut in one breath. All offense, no mitigation, the closest Konatsu parallel to Ultra Instinct. Passives (scale with Iai mastery): - Drawn Edge: autohits at the full 160% stance lever (675% under Crescendo), on the shared x3.0 to x5.0 mastery band. - Extra Swings: +0 to +4 autohits per round. A fraction is a chance at one more. - Flashstep: 6% to 35% chance to dodge incoming swings, and 6% to 20% to dodge skills outright. - Counterdraw: each dodge answers with a full weapon swing at x1.0 to x2.0 damage, doubled under Crescendo. The answer cuts through 5% to 20% of the target's armor. - Bare Blade: no damage reduction of any kind. - Latent Power: the surge multiplies autohits x1.5 to x2.5. - Attunement: always on, up to +45,000,000 PL, +1,000 Ki, +20,000 damroll, +40,000 hitroll. Sharpest hitroll of the four. Details: Signature Technique: Iai Slash Pours the whole Cadence bar into one draw cut. - Needs 25 Cadence. Costs 250 ki. - +3% damage per Cadence point spent, +300% at a full bar. - Base 200% damage, scaled 60% to 150% by mastery, 25% armor penetration, x2.0 under Crescendo. - Lands as 1 to 5 full damage cuts by mastery. - Drawn Veil: 6 rounds, up to 25% chance to slip each incoming ki or physical skill, scaled to the Cadence spent. Rolls only where Flashstep did not, and draws no Counterdraw. Area attacks and counters pass through. - The 10 second cooldown starts when the window ends.
