      Outside of Owl, does any enemy block this attack? I've used it on Genichiro and various mini bosses, and they all just end up taking it.

          imagine if you could do different combat arts, shadowrush + high monk in the air would be an amazing combo

            Just saw a video, and apparently it doesn't cost any SP if the attack doesn't connect. Can anyone confirm?

              I tested shadowrush comparing enemy healthbars and it seems to deal about 170% of normal attacks (the stab, plus the jump). The attacks that you can throw in the air seem to be normal attacks when in the air, which deal 1/4 of normal attacks. Normally I seem to throw two air attacks, so that would total 220% of a normal attack for the whole combo. The test I did: I used a normal swordsman with enough health. Performed a normal attack once, printed the screen. Rested, came back, attacked with shadowrush, printed again. And compared the screenshots. Normal did about 55% of damage, shadowrush did about 95%.

                I used this and double ichimonji against Saint Isshin. Since he has a fuxking insane attack range this was one of the only combat arts I could pull off from a safe distance without getting destroyed by his stupid teleport-and-stab thing and land two free hits on the way down too. However double ichimonji is better because it also cancels out any combo attack he is doing. And when fking grandpa over here starts a combo, he just keeps hitting again and again and again and again so it helps.

                  It's worth noting that the jump part of this move acts in the same way as if you've jumped over an unblockable sweep and did the counter. You get the same posture damage on the enemy and possible stun for another attack. It also has a very large range, way out of most enemies' reach, and I belive it cannot be deflected so that you always have access to the jump. Definitely one of the better Combat Arts.

                    This is super useful for most fights ive come across. I recommend getting double ich as well incase you end up spamming shadowrush until you're out of talismans. Without talismans, this move is still pretty good imo, so thats up to you. I have a good time with both this and the double ich.

                      Just got this - seems incredibly useful against certain mini bosses. Wish I opted to get it sooner! It also only takes spirit emblems if you land the strike which is nice.

                        I like high monk better, but this is super good to traverse the environment because you can use it to charge midair

                          This skill is amazing it makes many mini bosses easy, i recommend you choose it first instead of the ashina one, even though it costs 6 skill points.
