DescriptionKiai Break is a focused Samurai battle cry that damages one foe
and tears apart the enemy's fighting rhythm. It does not require a
separate spell command; it is used directly as a combat skill.
How It Works- Costs both movement and mana.
- Its cost and success chance improve with Samurai remorts.
- Deals direct damage to one visible enemy.
- Lowers the target's hitroll, damroll, and spellpower.
- The disruption grows through the early Samurai remort path.
- At 700 remorts, Kiai Dominion improves success, lowers resource cost,
strengthens the penalties, and extends the disruption.
- Wandering Blade at 1750 strengthens and extends it again.
- Rune of the Red Sun further improves Kiai Break and makes disciplined
sword attacks punish a target whose rhythm is already broken.
- The penalties do not stack while Kiai Break is already active.
Class Role
Kiai Break gives the Samurai a control tool between pure sword attacks.
Use it before Iai Draw, Katsuragi Strike, Severing Wind, Precise Strike,
Flurry, or Sword Sweep to weaken the foe and improve follow-up pressure.
