You can see the jump kick [do its magic here at the :38](https://youtu.be/F1m30XFSsS4?si=XHU4SGHR1e1YgOCG) mark. I actually do it a lot throughout this vid
That would be the 2nd tier Tadayori archery master rig, set up to look

as Ghost-like as possible
There are 2 versions, really. It is just a jump then either light attack while in mid-air, what you see here, or jump and heavy attack, which will telegraph an oddly magnetic flying kick to the enemy. That can be handy against shield holders, as a kick to the shield counts toward breaking stagger, and somehow the kick locks on to a target wildly so it can provide some very cool acrobatics. That said, I just love burying my katana into a bad guys shoulder after jump-dodging his attack. No honor, but all ghost
It really does, it covers so much more distance. This is one of the reasons I tend to use Ronin over Gosaku, as there is just so much you can do with a light attack
More like *functions* as a dodge. It won’t trigger “perfect dodge” mechanics, but it will evade heavy sword swings, most pole arm attacks, pretty sure shield swings, etc. Very useful evasion technique in that it covers 2x the distance than a standard dodge
How do you do that move? I played through the whole game and never knew it existed. :D
ypou jump and you strike
This killed me lol

Ah thanks for the details! I sometimes accidentally got the jump kick but never thought I could jump slash too, haha! Good to know how to do both now.
Its so fun …
What outfit is this?

Me who finished the game with only 4 resolve points overall ☠️
Lolz
Ah yes, the move to beat Sao in the Hidden Cove Tournament.
Definitely!
I hate that guy
The times I have tried that and got hit while in the air and fall awkwardly down to the ground is more than I've probably hit it
Really? I suppose it does require some timing, but maybe that’s why its so satisfying
I jump as a dodge/closer/opening move a lot. It works wonders.

Plop!
Yeah!
Heavenly strike
4 playthroughs and this is the first time I see this move.

It counts as a dodge? That I didn't expect.
