Notes

When active, user will anticipate and evade the next physical attack against them. Will not negate any magical attacks or spells (single target or area effect), but the effect will remain after being struck by one. Unlike "shadow" effects such as Utsusemi or Blink, Third Eye can anticipate and negate most multi-hit physical attacks entirely, regardless of how many hits the attack consists of. For instance, it is capable of fully negating damage from a foe's 8-hit Asuran Fists. (Shadow effects' ability to fully absorb multi-hit attacks depends on how many shadows remain.) If the user of Third Eye is struck by a physical attack that is AoE in any way (conal or radial), it will remove the Third Eye effect, and the user will not avoid any damage. Wearing the Saotome Haidate allows the Third Eye user a 25% chance to counter an attack instead of simply anticipating it. It must be worn at the time of the attack, rather than the time Third Eye is used. Does not stack with Utsusemi or Blink (Utsusemi will overwrite Third Eye, but Third Eye will not overwrite Utsusemi). Third Eye recast can be reduced with Merit Points by 2 seconds per level, down to a minimum of 50 seconds. Whilst under the effects of Seigan: The recast time for Third Eye will be halved. Seigan must be active prior to using the ability for the recast to be halved. There is a chance for Third Eye to remain active even after anticipating an attack. In addition, there is a chance for you to counter an anticipated attack. Seigan must be kept active in order to possibly receive these benefits; it is not enough to merely use Third Eye while Seigan is active. The chance that the player will keep the Third Eye effect even after anticipating tends to gradually decrease from the time that Third Eye is used. 5-6 anticipations is generally regarded to be a good/lucky streak, but note that it is still possible to get only one anticipation even if attacked immediately after using Third Eye. Seigan also allows you to possibly counter an attack along with anticipating it. It is possible to gain weapon skill ups off of a Seigan counter. Counter rate with Seigan active is around 15%.
