Name: The Azure Falcon Technique
Technique Power Ranking: C
Description: The Azure Falcon Technique embodies the speed, precision, and aerial mastery of the Azure Falcon, a creature revered for its unmatched agility and sharp instincts. Practitioners of this technique must hunt progressively stronger bird-like and wind-aligned creatures to gain their traits.
Pathways:
Stage One: To master the first stage, the practitioner must hunt and kill 10 Normal-ranked bird-like creatures, harvesting their essence by collecting their feathers and crafting a potion infused with their feathers and bones. The potion must be consumed at the highest peak the practitioner can climb at sunrise.
Bonus: Increases agility and reaction speed by 1.5x, granting sharper movements and quicker reflexes.
Backlash: Rapid movements can lead to dizziness and disorientation during extended use.
Stage Two: The practitioner must track and kill 5 F-ranked falcons and 5 F-ranked wind-aligned creatures, collecting their blood to craft a potion. This potion must be consumed during a windy day atop a cliff or hill.
Bonus: Gains a minor wind affinity, allowing for brief gliding maneuvers and increased speed by 2x. Reflexes sharpen further, and the practitioner becomes more resistant to knockback effects.
Backlash: The infusion of wind energy causes temporary instability in balance, making sudden movements difficult to control.
Stage Three: To progress, the practitioner must hunt and slay 5 E-ranked azure hawks, known for their precision and aerial capabilities. They must craft a cloak or accessory from their feathers and wear it while defeating three additional wind-aligned creatures.
Bonus: Gains resistance to wind-based attacks by 30%. Agility improves by 1x, and the ability to fly in a fluid and efficient way. The practitioner also gains the ability to sense air currents within a 20-meter radius.
Backlash: Prolonged use of wind-infused abilities increases fatigue, reducing stamina during extended combat.
Stage Four: The practitioner must locate and defeat 5 D-ranked flying wind-attributed creatures. They must battle these creatures in mid-air.
Bonus: Gains the ability to perform rapid aerial dashes and enhanced reflexes, improving agility by 2x. Can sense movements in a 30-meter radius.
Backlash: The constant aerial maneuvering drains energy quickly, requiring frequent rest between battles.
Stage Five: The practitioner must track and defeat a C-ranked wind-attribute flying creature. After the hunt, they must craft a potion from its body and consume it during a thunderstorm.
Bonus: Gains the ability to perform a wind dive, a rapid descent attack that increases damage and disrupts enemies’ balance. Physical speed increases by 4x, and aerial capabilities become significantly enhanced. Gains 50% resistance to wind and lightning-based attacks.
Backlash: The connection to the falcon's being causes occasional vertigo or sudden disorientation, especially at high altitudes.
Final Stage: To achieve mastery, the practitioner must locate and defeat a B-ranked Azure Spirit Falcon, a bird known for its incredible speed and mastery over the skies. They must absorb the spirit’s essence through a ritual performed during the eye of a storm.
Bonus: Gains the ability to summon a spectral azure falcon companion capable of assisting in combat with wind-based attacks on the soul level. The companion enhances the practitioner’s agility and aerial maneuvers further. The practitioner can sense movements within a 50-meter radius.
Backlash: Maintaining the connection with the azure falcon spirit causes intense drain and physical exhaustion after prolonged use, requiring significant recovery time.
