- When active, user will anticipate and evade the next physical attack against them.
- Will not negate any magical attacks or spells (single target or area effect), but the effect will remain after being struck by one.
- Unlike "shadow" effects such as Utsusemi or Blink, Third Eye can anticipate and negate most multi-hit physical attacks entirely, regardless of how many hits the attack consists of. For instance, it is capable of fully negating damage from a foe's 8-hit Asuran Fists. (Shadow effects' ability to fully absorb multi-hit attacks depends on how many shadows remain.)
- If the user of Third Eye is struck by a physical attack that is AoE in any way (conal or radial), it will remove the Third Eye effect, and the user will not avoid any damage.
- Wearing the Saotome Haidate allows the Third Eye user a 25% chance to counter an attack instead of simply anticipating it. It must be worn at the time of the attack, rather than the time Third Eye is used.
- Does not stack with Utsusemi or Blink (Utsusemi will overwrite Third Eye, but Third Eye will not overwrite Utsusemi).
- Third Eye recast can be reduced with Merit Points by 2 seconds per level, down to a minimum of 50 seconds.
Whilst under the effects of Seigan:
- The recast time for Third Eye will be halved. Seigan must be active prior to using the ability for the recast to be halved.
- There is a chance for Third Eye to remain active even after anticipating an attack. In addition, there is a chance for you to counter an anticipated attack. Seigan must be kept active in order to possibly receive these benefits; it is not enough to merely use Third Eye while Seigan is active.
- The chance that the player will keep the Third Eye effect even after anticipating tends to gradually decrease from the time that Third Eye is used. 5-6 anticipations is generally regarded to be a good/lucky streak, but note that it is still possible to get only one anticipation even if attacked immediately after using Third Eye.
- Seigan also allows you to possibly counter an attack along with anticipating it. It is possible to gain weapon skill ups off of a Seigan counter.
- Counter rate with Seigan active is around 15%.
- The damage from the Counter is also considered Blunt damage.
