We've been monitoring Shikudo since its release, and I've just loaded up the following changes to give it a bit more power in its affliction route, as this was proving a little underwhelming given form constraints:

- NERVESTRIKE will now additionally stun for a short time when performed in a kata chain of six or more actions.
- RUKO will now give both of its afflictions when performed in a kata chain of six or more actions.
- HIRAKU now additionally gives STUTTERING.
- LIVESTRIKE performed against a stunned opponent now has a (fairly low) chance of delivering blackout.

I'll be closely monitoring these over the next week and making more adjustments as appropriate.
