Shadow Hiding is an active supportive (toggle) skill of the Ninja class. It is a platinum skill and is not learned by spending skill points. The Ninja sinks into the shadows and stays concealed from enemies and players.
Overview
Shadow Hiding is a short concealment toggle. Casting it grants Hiding for up to 30 seconds, slowly draining SP while it remains active. It is meant for ambushes and for slipping away from danger, but the Ninja cannot move or act while hidden, and several monster types and detection skills can still expose them.
Mechanics
Effect: Toggle that places the user in Hiding for up to 30 seconds.
SP drain: while hidden, the skill drains 1 SP every 5 seconds. When SP runs out, Hiding ends automatically.
Toggle: re-casting the skill cancels the hide early at no SP cost.
Movement lock: while hidden the Ninja cannot move, pick up items or use consumables.
Breaking: taking damage ends Hiding.
Detection: Insect, Demon and Boss monsters can sense the hidden Ninja, and skills such as Ruwach and Sight will reveal them.
Requirements
Platinum skill. Shadow Hiding is not part of the regular skill point tree.
Notes
- Maximum level is 1; there are no higher ranks.
- Using Shadow Jump while under Shadow Hiding replaces the remaining hide time with Shadow Jump's own 3-second Hiding.
