Otherwise, there was no way to deal with that ability completely.
"Why don't you fire it again!"
"King's Shield!"
The "Wicked Wave" fired from the Smokescreen caught Aegislash squarely, but Aegislash blocked it completely with "King's Shield."

"A distraction?"
Obscure their vision, then attack with the fast-moving Shadow Sneak. Shirona immediately reached that conclusion and searched
