Cicada Skin Shedding is an active supportive skill of the Ninja class. The Ninja leaves behind a hollow husk to take a blow in their place, dodging incoming physical attacks and flinging the attacker backward.

Overview

Cicada Skin Shedding is a self-buff that grants a set number of guaranteed dodges against physical attacks. Each time a hit is shed, the attacker is knocked back 7 cells, making the skill both a survival tool and a way to keep melee enemies at arm's length. The buff lasts until its dodges are used up or its duration expires.

Mechanics

Effect: Grants 1 / 1 / 2 / 2 / 3 charges of automatic physical dodge by skill level.

Knockback on dodge: every blocked physical hit pushes the attacker back 7 cells.

Physical only: only weapon-based physical attacks are evaded. Magic is not blocked, and certain skills are flagged to ignore Cicada Skin Shedding and will land normally.

Duration: the buff stays active for its full duration or until all dodge charges are consumed, whichever comes first.

Leveling

Level	Dodges	Duration	SP
1	1	20s	12
2	1	30s	15
3	2	40s	18
4	2	50s	21
5	3	60s	24

Requirements

Flip Tatami Lv2 and Shadow Jump Lv2.

Notes

• The dodge count does not increase smoothly with level — Lv1 and Lv2 both grant 1 dodge, Lv3 and Lv4 grant 2, and only Lv5 reaches 3.
• Unlike Mirror Image, the dodges here knock the attacker away.
