Shishio – a pure Samurai-class Shikigami
“I was an orphan. Soon after I was born, my parents were killed by strange-looking creatures that walked upright on two legs.
After that, all I had was my herd. We migrated from place to place, but the herd gradually thinned out as we lost more and more of our companions at the hands of those creatures, until one day I was the only one left. I was alone and afraid. But every time I came to drink by the stream, I would look at my reflection and tell myself that I must become stronger.
Ichitaro, there’s a deer here all by itself! Same rules; Santaro, you trip it, then I’ll stab it.”

Shikigami Ability & Strategy Recommendations
Shishio should focus on leveling up his Fury of the Forest (2nd Ability) first. Then, Antler Gore (1st Ability) second.
Use Fury of the Forest (2nd Ability) to wear down your opponent then use Antler Gore (1st Ability) to escape or pursue the enemy together with the shield provided by Circle of Life (3rd Ability) to deal physical damage to surrounding enemies when the shield expires. Deer Stampede (Ultimate) can be used to knock up enemies in your path, which is helpful when entering a team fight as it can break the enemy team’s formation.
