Shuriken is an A.I. Exclusive Active Ability in Sonny (2017).
Details[]
Strikes an enemy 1 time, dealing Physical damage with 40% of the caster's Power. When this ability hits, it will apply the negative buff Venom to the target. When this ability scores a critical hit, it has a 50% chance of applying the positive buff Haste to the caster. Lastly, it has no cooldown.
Caster Buff[]
Haste: Speed increased by 30%. (+ Speed 30%)
The +30% Speed modifier is continuous while the buff is active. When the target of this buff ends their turn, a charge is consumed. This buff starts with 2 charges when applied, and gains an extra charge if the target doesn't already have this buff, of the same element.
As this buff is applied to the caster before they end their turn, it will immediately consume a charge upon being applied.
Target Buff[]
Venom: Take X damage each turn. (Losing HP)
When the target of this buff ends their turn, they take damage with 85% of the caster's Power, at the time this buff was applied. A charge is also consumed, and this buff always starts with 5 charges.
This buff's element is always set to Nature, regardless of the ability's element.

Tactics[]
Use silencing effects to avoid the entire party having the Venom buff. Alternatively, the player can focus their attacks onto units equipped with this ability, preferably killing them before they're able to apply Venom a second time.
It's quite rare that this ability's reaction triggers, but it's best to equip a dispelling ability. The player could also simply quit the battle and re-enter the fight, since this is not a common occurrence. The buff Blind can also be used against units equipped with this ability, as the game will not perform the critical check if the ability misses.
Trivia[]
- Venom Claw, available from the Nature Strain, applies a buff with the same name, Venom, that has less Power scaling for it's DoT.
