Seigan

• While Seigan is in effect, the recast time for Third Eye is halved.
• Seigan also adds a chance of Third Eye to remain in effect after anticipating an attack, instead of wearing off after just one. The chance of remaining in effect seems to decrease over the course of Third Eye's duration, with the highest chance being available immediately after Third Eye's use.
• Seigan also adds the possibility to Counter an attack along with anticipating it.
  • Third Eye Is not required to Counter attacks, but vastly increases the chances. It is possible to receive a Counter while Seigan is active and Third Eye is not, but it is quite rare compared to how often it happens out of "Anticipated" attacks.
  • Zanshin attack rate increases the chance of countering an anticipated attack, this is only active while Samurai is set as Main Job. (Source: 7/12/11 Update)
  • It is possible to gain weapon skill off of a Seigan counter.
  • The counter attack possibly deals blunt damage, considering the fact that it will deal 0 damage to the Metalloid Amoebae in the first area of SE Apollyon.
  • The blunt damage could be attributed to the damage-output of the slimes themselves since it is their attack that is countered. Testable on pots most likely to determine slashing versus blunt.
• Hasso and Seigan do not stack. Hasso will overwrite Seigan and vice-versa.
• Like Weapon Bash or Hasso, this Job Ability requires a two-handed weapon.
• Recast times for Ninjutsu, Songs, and Magic altogether are increased by 50% and casting times are doubled while Seigan is active.

• Unkai Kabuto +1
• Unkai Kabuto +2

Seigan (星眼) (Lit: Correct Viewpoint) is a slightly altered version of the basic kendo stance Chūdan (中段). Like En Garde it makes it easy to move in for an attack or defend against enemy blows. The spelling changes based on where the sword is pointed. 正眼 is the most common where the weapon is pointed towards the throat. The spelling used in game is 星眼 where the swordsman points at the center of the face
