Perfection
Perfection is an ability that grants a damage bonus dependant on the amount of consecutive hits you deal to a certain target. It is not activated directly; in order to use it you must have at least 50 Bushido skill points and then Honor a target creature.
Once this is done every successful blow will increase your perfection while a miss will lower it. As your perfection increases each strike will deal more and more damage, so the use of equipment with a Hit Chance Increase bonus is desirable. The Bushido ability Lightning Strike is also useful for sustaining a combo.
Once the target creature is slain you lose all perfection and must start over when you honor the next. Originally perfection could also be used against players, however a later publish removed the ability to honor them.
