Overview
The Precise Hurricane Slash (or just Hurricane Slash) is the main ability used by the Shogun. After a certain period of time, the Shogun will dash/jump backwards; streaks of gold energy will encircle their blade, and Thunderclap and flash. Just after around 2~ seconds, the Shogun will dash though the opponents, freezing them as if they have been time-stopped. And after a tense moment of stillness on both sides, the Shogun's blade will then let out similar streaks of gold in a spherical vortex, and any unit who fell victim to the ability itself will take a seeming slash from nowhere, and take medium damage. This is extremely useful for large groups of low-health units.
Strengths
- Groups of low health units (like Samurai and Squires); Shogun is able to defeat up to 190 Samurai by itself.
- Incredibly high health units (especially UC ones, it can defeat some units with seemingly infinite health). This is because of the fact that with high HP units, the Slash will take away 15% of their hp. With the Ice Giant, however, it will shear off an incredible 45% of its HP.
- For mounted units (like Jousters), when the unit attacks them it will kill the rider, so its horse will die, not including heavy machinery operators like Cannon, it damages just the Cannon, not the operator.
- The ability can kill all of the stuck units in the map; this may be helpful to avoid having to restart the battle.
- AoE effect (it can kill an entire army with a single use).
- Can insta-kill most of the weaker units.
Weaknesses
- After the unit has dashed through, they cannot protect themselves from any melee attacks, as they also freeze as well.
- Ranged units can attack while frozen, meaning that they can attack the unit while it can't do anything.
- The unit attacks the nearest unit from it, which means it can waste the ability on a single unit instead of killing an army (However, this may be good if the unit targets a strong unit like Sensei).
- If the unit possessing Precise Hurricane Slash jumps or slashes into the air, it can take serious fall damage.
- Units have to be extremely close to an enemy in order to activate this ability, and even then it has a long cooldown period.
- Sometimes it doesn't work, and the only unit that gets frozen is the unit possessing precise hurricane slash, and this may be the end of the unit if it stopped between many melee units, or next to a Cannon/Ballista/Hwacha , it can't dodge, parry or do anything other than deflecting(if it has the deflection ability), while other units can do anything for it until they kill it or it or it gets unfrozen.
Trivia
- The Hurricane Slash actually affects units by removing around 200 hp base damage + 15% portion from their health, but for some reason it affects one Ice Giant more than other units by removing around 45% from its health instead of 15%.
- It seems to be based off of the Thunderclap and Flash move by Zenitsu Agatsuma, from the long running anime Demon Slayer. However, it could also be based off of the stereotypical anime fighting special, where a blade-wielder slices through their opponent, and the attack doesn’t even register until a few seconds later.
- While charging up for the hurricane slash special itself, the unit that has it is immune to taking damage.
- If the player is on Xbox in the Unit Creator it has a good chance to crash the game
