Zanshin and multi-hit weapons

[Daggerot]

My question is, will zanshin kick in on misses in the beginning of the series of hits. For example, Mercurial Sword with a Katana Strap. Let's say first hit misses and second connects. Can zanshin give you another swing due to the first miss?

Thanks.

Yeah, anytime an attack misses Zanshin kicks in.

Yeah, anytime an attack misses Zanshin kicks in.

Even if a Zanshin misses?

difficult to test, but what i've found using soboro:

zanshin can proc if first hit misses, this either a) cancels any potential multihits or b) only procs if there weren't going to be any multihits.

It will never proc on the 2nd or 3rd swing, ever.

i've NEVER had my soboro swing 4 times.

how could you possibly know if zanshin procced and not just a second hit?

I've wondered this myself. I often wish that SE would implement a graphic where a quick "!" would flash across the head of a player when Zanshin procs.

Should be easy to test with Ishikoten merits and a soboro.

I don't, that's why i said it's either a) or b).
