Demon Light
Rare (9.0%)Demon Light is a Rare Soul Reaper element in VV: Ultimatum, rolled from the 9.0% bracket, whose Shikai cycles between spear, flail, and nunchuck weapon forms via Split Apart.
Demon Light is a weapon-morphing Shikai. Split Apart (Ctrl + M1) cycles your weapon through three forms - spear, then flail, then nunchucks - and each swap matters, because using Split Apart also resets the cooldown of your M2 skill. That M2 is documented as Three Piece Assault / Double Assault, a multi-hit offensive whose finer details the community has not fully written up yet.
The Shikai currently has no passive; community documentation notes that elements are expected to receive passives in the future, so this is subject to change per current documentation. The upgrade notes also reference a technique called Demon's Call that is not described in the moveset section - its last two hits gain execution properties at high level, but the move itself remains undocumented.
The upgrade lines make Demon Light a comeback fighter. Perseverance grants +3.5% output briefly after using Split Apart - doubled below 35% HP - and a permanent 10% damage reduction while Shikai is active below 25% HP. Virtusa speeds up your next weapon swap after the last hit of any Shikai weapon skill and, at Level 8, turns the last hit of Three Piece Assault or the last two hits of Demon's Call into executes. The Damage line enables rushdown on the last hit of Three Piece Assault and the flail's critical attack, and makes all slashes (not barrages) from ability techniques cause bleeding. Demon Light has no variants.

Shikai moveset
Split Apart (Ctrl + M1) cycles your weapon through its three forms: spear to flail to nunchucks. Three Piece Assault / Double Assault (Ctrl + M2) is the kit's skill attack, and its cooldown resets whenever you use Split Apart - the core loop is to weave weapon swaps between M2 casts.
There is currently no Shikai passive; per community documentation, elements are expected to gain passives in a future update.
