Praying Strikes Notes & Tips
- Fast startup and fast recovery makes this a very reliable Combat Arts with few risks involved.
- Deals decent posture on block and can't be deflected by enemies.
- Praying Strikes is a Combat Arts Skill
- Players are only allowed to equip one Combat Arts Skill
- Works as interrupt ability - e.g. can stop snake eyes shirafuji(not shirahagi) grab attack.
- This Combat Art is better used when the enemy's vitality is relatively low (so they don't recover posture too fast). This becomes marginally better when the enemy doesn't block or deflect the Combat Art, netting good posture damage quickly.
- Deals 0.08x + 0.22x = 0.3x health and 0.3x + 0.6x = 0.9x posture damage (first + second hits).
AnonymousThe best use of this is to chain after 2 normal hits. Especially against enemies who reliably attack straight away afterwards for an East deflect->counter->continue offense. With good timing you can bulldog most bosses. using mist raven to 'option select' their perilous attacks you never really have to step off the gas.

I dont know if im using this wrong because yeah its fast and recovers fast (I havent even been counter hit with it yet) but the amount of posture dmg I do is as low as doing one normal hit, I definetly think im using wrong
Every combat art I've used sucks, this one in particular is so bad. It says it prevents counter attacks but the recovery is so bad I get hit right after almost every time.
