Notes

  • Without Seigan active, Third Eye is consumed by the next attack from an opponent and the attack is "anticipated."

  • With Seigan active, a Samurai will anticipate multiple attacks as well as have the opportunity to Counter (25% of the time).
    • Third Eye has a higher chance to be removed the longer it is active.Question
    • Multi-hit weapon skills and single-target monster abilities are counted as one hit while Third Eye is active.
    • Physical Area of Effect attacks will strip Third Eye.
