Cast Off Cicada Shell makes all normal attacks and almost all physical offensive skills do zero damage. This skill will also send the Ninja back 7 cells if the attack used was meant to hit. In terms of dodging skill based attacks, Cast Off Cicada Shell will dodge skills whose damage can be modified with % cards. So skills like Sonic Blow, Asura Strike, etc. can be dodged easily with Cast Off Cicada Shell. The downside is since this only works with skills whose damage can be modified with % cards; magic spells, the magical half of Soul Breaker, Cart Termination, Throw Kunai, etc. cannot be dodged with this skill. The skill also cannot dodge elemental attacks from monsters.
On iRO, this skill is localized as Cicada Skin Shed.
Notes
- Natural Flee, Perfect Dodge, Safety Wall, and Kyrie Eleison take priority over Cast Off Cicada Shell; if one causes the attack to fail, Cicada does not activate.
- If Illusionary Shadow is active at the same time as Cast Off Cicada Shell, both skills are triggered.
- In War of Emperium the dodge effect applies but there is no backslide effect.
- Any effect given by the attack will still apply, despite no damage being taken. For example, you can be Frozen (while simultaneously being thrown back) if you are attacked with a weapon that can freeze.
- Effects of cards that trigger when the user is being hit (ie. Pest Card) are still applied, with the ninja having no damage thanks to the Cast Off Cicada Shell protection.
- This skill cannot be dispelled with Dispel.
