Hantengu Art is one of the Demon Arts you can obtain as a Demon when talking to the Alchemist at level 5 in Demon Purgatory. You can also get it by using Muzan Bloods which re-rolls your demon art. The chance of getting Hantengu Art from one is 1 in 40 or 2.5%.

This Blood Demon Art is a very versatile one as it has great range, long stuns, and includes good mobility.

Moveset

Move	Description	Guard Break	Hyper Armor	Stamina	Damage	Skill Point cost	Cooldown
Demon Scream	A brief shout that stuns the opponent. Has some range to it. Stun lasts for about 2 seconds after the initial scream. Good combo starter and extender with a relatively large aoe where the user aims.	No	Yes	25	10	2	25 seconds
Wind Hurricane	The user makes a tornado around them, damaging enemies that come too close. The AOE is relatively big. Good combo starter and extender (provided you are quick enough).	No	No	~55	30	3	1 minute & 35 seconds
Wood Dragon	Wood Dragon: The user throws a wooden dragon in the direction they are facing. Has short startup and good damage making for a good combo ender and the hyper armor allows for a good counter attack provided it is timed for when the user is about to get hit.	No	Yes	50	36	3	40 seconds
Wind Lance	The user pulls out a lance and slams it on the ground creating a cone shockwave of wind in front of you. Despite the cone only shooting out in front, the aoe and damage effects anyone that is around the user and close enough. Has a long startup.	Yes	No	10	~35	3	30 seconds
Thunderbolt	I-frame move where after 2 seconds, a thunder-bolt will fall on the user and create a shockwave around them. Anyone in the range will be hit with heavy knock-back and ragdolled for ~6 seconds.	Yes	Yes	0	20	3	1 minute & 15 seconds

Pros:

1. Versatile Moveset:
   • Demon Scream: Acts as a great combo starter and extender with its stunning effect.
   • Wind Hurricane: Useful for close combat and can damage multiple enemies at once.
   • Wood Dragon: Effective combo ender with good damage and counter potential.*this move can be hard to land if not directly in front or behind in my experience*o dragão não sai diretamente do seu corpo então vc tem que mira ele considerando que não vai ir totalmente da sua visao
   • Wind Lance: AOE damage with significant impact, useful for crowd control.
   • Thunderbolt: Provides invincibility frames (I-frame) and can knock back multiple opponents, giving control over the battlefield.
2. Combination Potential:
   • Many moves like Demon Scream and Wind Hurricane are excellent for chaining combos, allowing for complex and damaging sequences.
3. Hyper Armor:
   • Demon Scream and Wood Dragon provide hyper armor, making the user resistant to flinching during these attacks and allowing for more aggressive play.
4. Crowd Control:
   • Multiple AOE attacks (like Wind Hurricane and Wind Lance) allow the user to handle groups of enemies effectively.
5. Stunning and Knock-back Effects:
   • Moves like Demon Scream and Thunderbolt provide stuns and knock-backs, respectively, adding strategic control over opponents.

Cons:

1. High Stamina Cost:
   • Moves like Wind Hurricane and Wood Dragon require significant stamina, which can be limiting in prolonged fights.
2. Long Start-up Time:
   • Wind Lance has a long startup, making it vulnerable to interruption if not timed correctly.
3. Situational Effectiveness:
   • Some moves, such as Thunderbolt, require precise timing and positioning to maximize their effectiveness, which can be challenging in dynamic combat situations.
4. Guard Break Vulnerability:
   • Only Wind Lance and Thunderbolt break guard, limiting options against defensive opponents.
5. Dependence on Combos:
   • While powerful, many moves are best used in combos. Failure to chain effectively can reduce overall damage output and leave the user vulnerable.
6. Limited Range on Some Moves:
   • Despite some AOE effects, moves like Wind Lance primarily affect the area directly in front, which can be limiting against mobile opponents.
