 An enhanced shuriken that pierces enemies with its sharp blades. Costs Spirit Emblems to use.

      This upgrade is slightly weaker than the “spinning shuriken” upgrade on a direct hit, but deals some damage when blocked.

      If you’re using “gouging top” and the dog you hit survives with a pinch of health, switch to a different version of the shuriken and you should be able to kill dogs in that area in a single hit.
