Lightweight
In-game tooltip: when performing Light Strikes, Heavy Strikes and casting skills with dual blades equipped, one dodge can be performed. That dodge still costs dodge energy but allows for earlier recovery cancellation.

When to use it
Bought for the bait: leaving an animation sooner is what lets the Shadow Strike i-frame line work against a player who is trying to punish it. Note what the tooltip actually grants — an extra dodge out of those actions, not a flat speed-up, and it is still paid for in dodge energy.
Builds using this
- Shadowstrix bait-and-stun — Swanifier explains it at 01:00Taken for the bait rather than for the speed: leaving your own animation sooner is what makes the i-frame line repeatable.
- Shadowstrix — Dagger PvP — Swanifier explains it at 01:00Faster animation exits, which is what an i-frame baiting style runs on. Deep Charge is the stated swap if you prefer it.
