Nightjar Slash Notes & Tips
- Nightjar Slash is a Combat Arts Skill
- Performs a leaping slash that inflicts a slightly higher posture damage.
- Especially effective against Lady Butterfly.
- The forward flip that deals the slash attack counts as if Sekiro is in the air (as if he jumped). This means that if timed correctly (hard to do), you can evade Perilous sweep attacks with this combat art.
- Deals 1.05x health and 1x posture damage.
AnonymousJust tested it. Nightjar slash CAN'T be used as lightning reversal. It does catch lightning though but you get shocked before the slash.

As this puts you in the air, I wonder: does this lightning reversal?

I personally don't use Nightjar Slash, since throwing a shuriken and following with a chasing slice basically serves the same purpose but with a /bit/ more damage. Though Nightjar Slash makes a good chasing slice replacement. I use this against Inner Owl, since he spams Mist Raven if you throw Shurikens at him.
Though since the hitboxes in this game are interesting, I'm sure there's plenty of attacks you could totally avoid while Nightjar Slashin'.

Very good against Isshin Ashina (the 2 versions of the bosses) to hit him after his Ashina cross move, because it allows you to cover rapidly the distance. Dont work against Emma because she recovers too fast after Ashina cross.

Seriously, don't sleep on this combat art and its upgrade. If you know exactly when an enemy's attack starts and ends, the ability to close or create distance on your terms gives combat a whole new aspect of mobility that really helps you keep cool in the heat of battle. It's more deliberate and isn't reactionary or as likely to make you panic as mashing dodge/sprint. The biggest plus this move gives over the Souls equivalent is that the distance covered is actually significant enough to matter.

it leaves you very vulnerable when attacking but deals good posture damage if it connects

I can’t preform this. It keeps doing the whirlwind strike. What am I doing wrong
You know, why is this in the prosthetic arts tree? It's a shinobi type combat art, and it has nothing to do with the prosthetic arm so I'm a little curious. Sekijo worked for Ashina like the Nightjars did, and the move is a little monkey like but that feels a little too graspy.
