How to get it
Play the Iki Island expansion and complete The Legend of Black Hand Riku. Riku wears the tier III version when you duel him.
Tips
Only wear it once your timing is solid, because a missed perfect parry leaves you open. Players rate it highly for duels. Dyes include Wind Kami's Breath from Iki merchants, Crimson Victory, Monkey Eye and Snowy Macaque.
