Description

"This is where you'll be buried!"

Shadow Knight Sayoung guards the entrance leading to the Slums Gate. He was originally a disciple of Grand Master Siran, but abandoned the path of the katana in order to attain power through magical means. Sayoung swore fealty to the Dark Elves so that they could teach him their dark magics—but instead, they enslaved his soul with devious spells. Sayoung now zealously serves them, and guards their subterranean city of Noire Ferra with undying fervor.

Move List

• Sayoung is a dangerous Soul Bender, wielding a highly reinforced Demon Katana Siran. As such, he will engage the player using a variety of Soul Bender skills designed to cripple, confound and destroy.
  •  Drive Slash
  •  Ghost Slash &  Ghost Slash Drive
  •  Full Moonlight Slash
  •  Afterimage of Keiga
  •  Kazan
  •  Hazy-Eyed Bremen
  •  Ice Saya
  •  Plague Rhasa
  •  Tombstone
  •  Phantasmal Slayer

Strategy

• Because Sayoung is a Soul Bender, immediately rushing him before he can cast his offensive spells can make the fight considerably easier.
• Sayoung will periodically cast  Afterimage of Keiga in order to alleviate damage dealt to him; due to its somewhat long cast time, it can be interrupted.
• When downed, Sayoung may use  Quick Rebound to get back up and quickly counterattack with  Drive Slash,  Moonlight Slash or  Ghost Slash. Be wary while he is crouching.
• His AI is split into two phases: At the start of the fight, he will begin by spamming  Kazan,  Bremen,  Saya, and  Rhasa, and occasionally using a ridiculously powerful  Ghost Slash. Avoid the circles whenever possible;  Rhasa will inflict deadly debuffs and  Saya may  Freeze (Status) players.
  • When his health is dropped down to half, he will stop spamming ghost circles and begin playing more aggressively, using close-ranged attacks and powerful skills like  Tombstone or  Phantasmal Slayer. Players should keep their distance once he begins Ghost Stepping with  Afterimage of Keiga, due to  Phantasmal Slayer's long axis reach.

Notes / Oddities

• Always spawns in the opposite corner of where the player enters, regardless of dungeon layout.
• Has no health regeneration.
• Equipped with a +9 Demon Katana Siran.
• Before the Rebirth patch, Sayoung weighed as much as a Priest in PvP, and was almost impossible to launch. With the coming of Second Impact, however, his weight was considerably reduced.
• After the Metastasis Update, Sayoung can also be found as an APC in the special Frost Cave dungeon. He will be freed after answering three of his questions and will either turn hostile or friendly depending on what you answer.
