True, pretty safe to stay blocking too cause the grab doesn't do much... I'm just waiting for the shadows to run out so I can abuse my perm one on those who have wronged me.
Well here's the downsides from it, grab and counter are weak I mean so weak they are worse than the default ones. The upside is that it has higher range than sage on some attacks that rely on the shadow dude.
Even if I got it perm, I wouldn't use it really. Its delay **** and if you miss a beat during the combo the dang thing fails. It's annoying to fight but beatable, its sorta trash in Dos KOTH though...but that's just me. Better off with a different ninjitsu scroll.
