Shadow Chase is the personal swordsmanship style of Dalia Mendoza, the Punisher. The swordsmanship blends both orthodox and unorthodox techniques, making her movements highly unpredictable, and serves to lure them into a trap where her Snakeheart Sword is inescapable.

Overview

The style blends both orthodox and unorthodox techniques, making her movements highly unpredictable. Black Snake utilizes unorthodox, curved strikes to distort her opponent’s perception of distance and White Snake employs precise, linear attacks that bend sharply at the last moment, trapping the target between the two.

As an ambidextrous dual wielder, Dalia fully unleashes her swordsmanship’s destructive potential, delivering attacks capable of leveling an entire city block.

Techniques

Image	Name	Description
	Shadow Chase - Viper	Dalia launches an attack with the Black Snake, mimicking a viper’s strike, its unpredictable movements making it difficult to counter.
	Shadow Chase - Two Headed Snake	Dalia swings the Black Snake upward and has the blade undulate downward in an unorthodox twirling motion towards the target. Simultaneously, Dalia thrusts her White Snake angled slightly downward to burrow through the ground and sharply angle back upward to approach the target straight-ford.
	Shadow Chase - Descending Dragon	Dalia swings the Black Snake upward, causing the blade to undulate downward in an unpredictable, twirling motion toward her target. Simultaneously, she thrusts the White Snake at a slight downward angle, allowing it to burrow through the ground before sharply curving upward for a direct strike.
	Shadow Chase - Ascending Dragon	Dalia places both swords side by side, intertwining their blades into one before rapidly extending her arms apart. As the swords unwind, they spin in a circular pattern like helicopter blades, creating a wide area of effect that ascends higher as she continues to extend her reach.
