Ichimonji: Double Notes & Tips
- Ichimonji: Double is a Combat Arts Skill
- If the first strike hits, the second likely will, too. Otherwise it's identical with Ichimonji with the same virtues (good damage and inherent stamina recovery) and the same sins (has a long windup that nonetheless can be used to catch enemies as they begin to attack).
- Ichimonji (一文字) translates to "straight line".
- Many players find performing Ichimonji, or the "Doubled" version, in the air is better than performing it on the ground(unless you wish to charge your first overhead strike). This is because jumping towards the enemy then performing Ichimonji in the air will actually decrease the minimum charging time on the first strike. The difference is not miniscule either, as it makes the time delay before swinging 20% faster. It is unknown if other combat arts performed in the air will benefit from this tactic.

Best combat art for almost any situation. Recovering posture is so powerful and it does good posture and vitality damage and interrupts most enemies, even bosses. You just have to pick your openings and not miss.

So if you knew a way to open and close a door 10% faster than most people could otherwise and with sufficient skill and concentration it only broke your toe once or twice a year is it a good skill? Double Ichimonji is that kind of skill.

The reason why this combat art way ahead the others-stagger.A lot of late game mobs,mini/bosses have hyper armor moves,ie if you chain 3 praying strikes on purple ninjas they most likely will do jump overhead atk and depending on timing and your reaction you can be punsihed,same with any other 2+ hits combat arts,not the case with ichi,it staggers the target no matter if its just startup of atk or move already in action,it will be canceled.

Tremendously useful with bosses having quick movements, especially on higher NG cycle when your posture recovers very slowly

You can loop this with Owl several times until he backs off. Just dodge after the second hit, and you'll be able to do it again.

I used this to hit the well ninja while standing on the rear platform above him since it strikes so low.

The charged up version does MASSIVE posture damage. It's an amazing follow-up move after a Mikiri counter.

This is *****ing useless and slow as hell. Shadowrush is the only good combat art.

Arguably the best Combat Art in the game, in my opinion, and the only one that is truly useful against the vast majority of bosses. It was very helpful to me when fighting Genichiro. On less powerful enemies it can break their posture if you hit both times.

atm it is the most powerful super attack, i don get it why did they added so many supers that are not usable bacicly - some uses spirits, others does low damage.

It feels like you cannot block after using this move, maybe something about that should be mentioned when the wiki is fleshed out.
