Type

Lore

Yashin was born into the Tao family, the most noble one in Echon. No one could match his swordsmanship even when he was 5 years old. Echon is a world of non-stop battles and wars and because of that, the progress of civilization has come to a stand still. But there is a legend where a hero of great power would appear and stop the fighting on Echon, and everyone thought that Yashin would be the chosen one.

One day, his close friend Apostle Kasijas, challenged him to a duel. The outcome of the duel is unknown, but after the confrontation, Yashin stayed at his family household and Kasijas disappeared. On a crescent moon night, Yashin left his home in order to find Kasijas, only to reappear in Castle of the Dead as a remodeled servant of Luke, similar to Zakeline and Aslan.

Move Set

• Moonlight Slash: Yashin begins the fight by charging up and creates a shockwave on the ground that knocks down players, then he'll pull them in and dashes straight forward, leaving a white line on the floor along with a shadow that follows him. Those who are caught into the attack will be captured and dealt with lethal damage after Yashin slashes once more. After this, he'll become invisible and teleport to a random spot. He'll start up this move again after some time has passed.
  • If players use  Quick Rebound, a clone will appear from behind and strike them, this can be avoided.

• Fake Clones: Yashin leaves stationary clones where he last stood that can attack players and fade away. However, the real Yashin with a marker below him will appear randomly around in the room while he's in a charging up pose before vanishing.

• Crescent Wave: Yashin swipes his sword to create giant wave projectiles that are widespread enough to push players back.

• Jump Evasion: Any attempts to hold Yashin or deal heavy attacks will have him jump across the room to avoid players.

• Triple Air Kick: Yashin will occasionally follow a player and strikes them down with three aerial kicks. This can be avoided, but difficult to get out if caught by it.

• Teleport Slash: Yashin appears behind a player and slashes them.

• Shruikens: He'll sometimes throw either one or more shurikens either in the air or on ground.

• Spinning Strike: Yashin does a airbone mutli-hit spinning strike downwards towards a player that knocks them down for moderate damage.

Berserk

• Flying Scouts: If holds are overused, Yashin pulls all party members in the middle of the room and summons six clones of himself and begins to charge up a huge attack. Destroying a clone will have them spawn a  Nen Guard that can be shared without disappearing. Then players get pulled in the middle again as the clones launch out crescent waves that deal heavy damage and inflicts  Bleed (Status). Stay in the barrier to avoid being hit.

Strategy

• Stand on the location where he slashed and do not attack him with non-hold skills, this makes the fight alot easier and less time consuming when dealing with his clones pattern.

• When he starts up Moonlight Slash, time your jumps or block the shockwave and run to a corner to prevent being pulled into the line.
