Disaster Shadows
Disaster Shadows (or Kyouma) are powerful versions of normal shadows found in palaces throughout the main story. You can tell one from regular enemies by its ominous aura and penchant to mutter uncontrollably unlike the other shadows in combat. If damaged in battle, disaster shadow will immediately counterattack. This makes them very challenging to defeat without employing a good strategy.
Once defeated, the disaster shadow detonates and causes damage to its allies. The damage of the explosion depends on the amount of damage it takes which does not count damage through reflect or Despair. A good way to knock it out efficiently is to bring it down fast with attributes it’s weak against. You can also opt to cripple it with Sleep. Taking down disaster shadows rewards the player with sooty armor which can be sold at the vintage clothing store to earn money and store points.
