While in the Shadow Dance state, if you have at least 1 Verdant Dew, Nefer's Charged Attacks will be replaced with the special Charged Attack Phantasm Performance, which will not consume Stamina. When in the Shadow Dance state, Nefer's resistance to interruption is increased.

Two initial charges.

"The world is a game in which the pieces remain hidden behind a veil. To avoid falling into a trap, one must collect every piece of information one can. This is the meaning of secrets."

Emerald Cipher

Stories

Nasha Town is a "bustling" town. During the day, mercantile debate and reckless arguments can be heard everywhere on the streets. And at night, whispered schemes and the secret plots of thieves abound in the town's more dimly lit rooms. Like a butterfly languidly flitting in the summer, these wild ambitions and intrigues linger soundlessly around every corner. Countless are those who have chased said butterfly, hoping to one day find a land of plenty and safety. Meanwhile, the one true feline, the one capable of felling butterflies with a single pounce, crouches high above, gazing down upon those who chase illusions as they furiously clash and clamor, only to fall once more. "Ashru." At the sound of his owner's call, the feline turned his gaze away from those with whom he was not at all concerned. For no matter how the world changed, his owner would always have tasty dried fish in hand. As long as he stayed by her side, he would never go hungry.
