Notes
- The shadow is considered to be a pet (akin to scholar's Eos). As such, the actual potency is approximately 90% of the listed value on the tooltip, being around 630 potency.
- This action is unaffected by Trick Attack / Kunai's Bane, as those actions increases the damage the ninja themselves deal to their target(s). It will, however, still be affected by Dokumori and other raid buffs.
Gameplay
- Phantom Kamaitachi does not instantly generate 10 Ninki; 5 Ninki is granted upon execution, and another 5 is granted by the shadow when its damage snapshots nearly immediately, similar to Bunshin. If the target is either defeated or becomes untargetable (begins forced downtime) shortly after execution, the 5 Ninki generated by the shadow may be lost.
- Because the shadow's potency is not affected by Trick Attack / Kunai's Bane, it is never purposely included within those windows. If it is available when Dokumori becomes available, it is ideally used as the GCD after.
- Because of the aforementioned reasons, ninjas should hold onto Phantom Kamaitachi for when they need to disengage from a boss, instead of using Raiton or Throwing Dagger. Its long duration of availability allows for flexible usage.
- An exception to using Phantom Kamaitachi within Trick Attack / Kunai's Bane is if it grants another usage of Bhavacakra within their debuff windows.
