Description

This skill will make all normal attacks and almost all physical offensive skills do zero damage. This skill will also send the ninja back 7 cells if the attack used was meant to hit. In terms of dodging skill based attacks, Cast-off Cicada Shell will dodge skills whose damage can be modified with % cards. So skills like Sonic Blow, Asura Strike, etc. can be dodged easily with Cast-off Cicada Shell. The downside is since this only works with skills whose damage can be modified with % cards; magic spells, the magical half of Soul Destroyer, Cart Termination, Throw Kunai, etc. cannot be dodged with this skill. The skill also cannot dodge elemental attacks from monsters.

Notes

  • Natural Flee, Perfect Dodge, Safety Wall, and Kyrie Eleison take priority over Cast-off Cicada Shell; if one causes the attack to fail, Cicada does not activate..
  • If Mirror Image is active at the same time as Cast-off Cicada Shell, both skills are triggered.
  • In War of Emperium the dodge effect applies but there is no backslide effect.
  • Any effect given by the attack will still apply, despite no damage being taken. For example, you can be frozen (while simultaneously being thrown back) if you are attacked with a weapon that can freeze.
  • Effects of cards that trigger when the user is being hit (ie. Pest Card) are still applied, with the ninja having no damage thanks to the Cast-off Cicada Shell protection.
  • This skill cannot be dispelled with Dispel.
