Mirror Image is an active supportive skill of the Ninja class. The Ninja conjures phantom duplicates of themselves that absorb incoming physical attacks, granting a generous pool of dodges with no knockback.

Overview

Mirror Image is the Ninja's main defensive buff. While Ninja Aura is active, the Ninja spends it to create illusory copies; each copy soaks one physical attack. Unlike Cicada Skin Shedding, dodging here does not push the attacker back, but the number of dodges is higher and the buff lasts much longer.

Mechanics

Effect: Grants a number of automatic physical dodges equal to SkillLv.

Formulas: SP cost = 20 + 2 × SkillLv; Cast time = 2 − 0.2 × SkillLv seconds; Duration = 30 + 30 × SkillLv seconds.

No knockback: blocked attacks are simply nullified; attackers are not pushed away.

Requires Ninja Aura: the skill can only be cast while Ninja Aura is active, and casting Mirror Image consumes that aura.

Recast cancels: casting Mirror Image again removes the previous set of images before applying the new one.

Physical only: as with Cicada Skin Shedding, only weapon-based physical attacks are evaded.

Leveling

Level Dodges Cast time Duration SP
1 1 1.8s 60s 22
2 2 1.6s 90s 24
3 3 1.4s 120s 26
4 4 1.2s 150s 28
5 5 1.0s 180s 30

Requirements

Cicada Skin Shedding Lv4 and Ninja Aura Lv1.

Catalysts

  • 1 Shadow Orb per cast.

Notes

  • Because casting consumes Ninja Aura, you must re-cast Ninja Aura before you can use Mirror Image again, and you lose the aura's attack bonuses until you do.
  • Mirror Image can be active together with Cicada Skin Shedding, but a single blocked hit spends one charge from each buff at the same time.
