Where this comes from
Swanifier — Best ShadowStrix Build — opens at 00:11, where the skill is explained.
When to use it
The dagger stance’s bait tool, and the reason the class wins duels it should lose. Because the dash grants i-frames, it is thrown into an incoming attack: you dodge the hit, the target is stuck in their own animation, and the returning shadow lands the stun on them. Taken with Nimble, which roughly halves the cooldown whenever the shadow connects — a talent worth dropping if you cannot land the timing.
