Shadow is the evasion tag. The Shadow Evasion build turns dodging into a resource engine: every successful evasion refunds cooldowns and builds damage, so the better you play, the stronger you get.
It is the highest-skill, highest-reward style — miss your dodges and you crumble; nail them and you are untouchable.
Evasion As Resource
Academy Fountain Pen is the keystone: successful evasion reduces all Grimoire cooldowns and adds Grimoire Damage per Evasion. Perfect dodges become offensive events.
Flow State
Chain dash-attack-dash to keep evasions frequent. Pair with Dagger for speed or Katana for reach, and let the refund loop fuel your abilities.
