How to use Virtuos Shadow?

[FadeToNull]

I've seen vids of players void dashing at the eidolon's head to proc Virtuos Shadow. In the vids, they dash rapidly forward then back over and over.

How is this done? I only know how to dash forward.

I'm probably missing something obvious.

Dashing at the head damages the head, which counts as an headshot for Shadow.

Well.... I don't Play on keyboard buy I'm Assuming you just Hold "S"  and then Void Dash Again to move Backwards....

It's especially Finicky depending on your Timing and Angle the Trajectory of your Void Dash can take you to some highly unexpected places... Like Straight Up instead of Forward..

By default, when you press Jump while in void mode, you will dash forward. If you hold a directional key and press Jump, you will dash in whatever direction you were holding. So the main sequence is: Void Mode > Space > S + Space > Space > S + Space. While aiming at the head of course. This takes lots of practice to get consistent, so play around with the positioning and timing and you'll get it eventually.
