I don't know how to make the names of the skills become icons. This summoned ally sorta sucks though, only real use I can see is that one mission with the escaping corsair runners.76.175.144.6

{{skill icon|skill name}} Yes, AI controlled assassins, generally don't work very well. --mira castillo 21:40, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

Lore[edit]

Anyone concerned/unnerved by the lore-wise implications of being able to manipulate Oni? Demons (confirmed by demonslaying mods) from the Mists or beyond thought to have been controlled by Shiro or Abaddon, and we're cracking them out like they were candy. Um...what?

Not really since we have destroyed the evils controlling them. Pahndha 22:37, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
Demonic Mercs for hire. We're only evil if you are! Aro 01:38, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
I'm a card-carrying member of a demonic labor union. Apparently "demon" is just code for "asshole," the oni were just born with tragic deformities, and it makes them cry when you think they're not human. You should all be ashamed of yourselves. --Jette 09:13, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
To add insult to injury (literally), kill them with YMLaD! Paddymew 09:53, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

AI assassins are bad! The whole profession is a waste! Canarygeorge 19:32, 21 September 2009 (UTC)

Jagged strike[edit]

does this guy still prefer to spam it rather than use anything else? -Chieftain Alex 16:24, 7 October 2013 (UTC)

I have the summoning stone, if you'd want it to test with... Rodan (talk) 18:28, 7 October 2013 (UTC)
Yes. You see, this is not a good evaluation. It theoretically can knock down foes with Horns of the Ox, but it rarely, if ever, will. Demonic Agility doing "good and constant damage" is very subjective, and also negated by its desire to spam Jagged Strike. Someone who is not familiar with the AI or the skillbar would get the impression that the Oni is a supportive attacker, when it is barely supportive at all.

Death's Charge[edit]

I summoned an Oni the other day and saw it using Death's Charge but never retreat, adding Charge to Skill list, if someone else can confirm retreat is not there then remove.

Death's Retreat[edit]

I removed all references to this. If anyone can provide verification that the Oni actually has Death's Retreat, go ahead and revert. Mist Y (talk) 03:35, 2 October 2018 (UTC)
