"It looks like it was waiting until we were fatigued. This is no ordinary Oni."
—Nagi, facing a Windshredder in the Age of Honor.

Description[]

|---|---|---|---|
| A large Oni resembling a four-legged beast, they earned their name due to the way they slice through the wind as they effortlessly move about. They fly nimbly across the battlefield and attack with a sense of purpose, which has led to the deaths of many Slayers.[2] 四足獣のような姿をした、大型の“鬼”。風を切って疾駆する姿から、この名が付けられた。 俊敏な動きから繰り出される鋭い一撃によって、多くのモノノフが命を散らしている。[3] | |||

| A large Oni resembling a lion, they earned their name due to the way they slice through the wind as they effortlessly move about. They nimbly traverse the Otherworld, and attack Slayers on sight with a sense of purpose that makes it seem as if they are hunting them. 四足獣のような姿をした、大型の“鬼”。風を切って疾駆する姿から、この名が付けられた。 異界内を俊敏に駆け回り、モノノフと見るや襲いかかる。 その様は、明確な意思を持った「狩り」のようでもある。[1] | |||
Appearance[]
Windshredders are large, lion-like Oni with a mostly golden body and a blue face with a white mane. They have two horns, two orange eyes, four legs with three claws each and a tail with a club-shaped tip. When they enter a rampage, two horn-like blades called airblades grow in each side of their head.
Combat[]
"Windshredders are fast and tricky opponents. Destroying their legs will make them easier to handle."
—Wind Shredding Tiger description.
Destructible parts[]
- All legs and the tail can be severed and purified. The front legs and the tail can also be completely destroyed in Toukiden 2.
- The horns and both airblades can be permanently broken.
Attack techniques[]
A weapon with which you have a high Compatibility is recommended.
Attacks[]
- Lean back and quickly jump forward.
- Jump to the left and then forward.
- Charge forward. Can be countered with Oni Throw in Toukiden 2. If two or more legs have been severed, it will fall at the end of the charge. Sometimes, it may first do a backflip, knocking hit targets into the air.
- Do a somersault and swing its tail, creating a shockwave. If the tail has been severed, the shockwave is nullified.
- Bite the target twice while moving slightly forward.
- Scratch to the side with its right or left front leg.
- Swing its tail twice, creating two shockwaves. If the tail has been severed, the shockwaves are nullified.
- Roar and spin with a whirlwind around it. This is used every time its essence is revealed, and a similar attack is used when reagining its defense after a rampage.
- Do a backflip and roar, surrounded by a whirlwind. This is used every time it enters this state.
- Jump forward while spinning, then quickly repeat it in another direction. If the airblades have been broken, the range of this attack is reduced. Sometimes, it may first spin backwards.
- Charge forward, then to the opposite direction and jump while spinning.
- Spit three wind projectiles from right to left.
- Slash to the left or right with its airblades. Sometimes, it might do it twice in a row.
- Do a backflip, creating a large tornado in front of it (only in Expert [Toukiden 2] and Ultimate difficulty [Toukiden: Kiwami]).
