Supreme · Class: Ascendant
Soyama clan
A counter stance, a stun zone, and a Combat Intuition that banks the damage you deal instead of the damage you take.
What Soyama is for
Soyama's Combat Intuition is the aggressive twin of Kamado's: it stores what you deal, three quarters of it against players and half against NPCs, and hands a tenth back as bonus damage. It also gives 8% damage reduction while it runs, so open with it.
Bell Splitter is a read. Guess right and the attacker is stunned, slowed and has their fist damage cut; guess wrong and you cannot swing or use skills for 2 seconds. It rewards PvP timing more than boss fights.
Only two passives, the fewest of the Supreme clans, so most of its value is in the skills.
Its 22% Additional Damage Factor is 3rd of the 14 clans with a page here, and its +170 Max Health is 3rd.

Skills
- Indomitable Will
- Two activation methods. Tap: a burst around the user that shoves nearby enemies away, stuns them briefly and marks them with Fear, slowing their movement and their dash. Hold: a much larger zone placed where the user is standing, stunning everyone inside for as long as they stay and stunning them again on the way out.
- Combat Intuition
- Applies +8% Damage Reduction Factor for 12 seconds and stores a share of the damage the user deals in that window: 75% of what lands on players, 50% of what lands on NPCs. Stored Damage x 0.1 becomes Damage Potential, which is added to the user's Weapon and Breathing or Demon Art damage. Pressing the key again ends storage early and cashes it in; letting the window run out cashes it in anyway. The bonus lasts 7 seconds.
- Bell Splitter
- Tapping the key enters a stance. Getting hit during the stance triggers a counter that parries the blow and leaves the opponent stunned, with -30% Movement Speed Factor for 3 seconds and -35% Additional Damage Factor with fists for 10 seconds. A stance that catches nothing leaves the user unable to attack for 2 seconds: no skills and no swings, though they can still block and dash.
Indomitable Will is also on Kamado and Rengoku, word for word. Combat Intuition is also on Kamado, with different wording or numbers.
Passives
- Enhanced Speed
- +5% Movement Speed Factor.
- Pain Resistance
- The user is not slowed at low health.
