I'm struggling to figure out an issue I'm having with skill chains.

In this example, I have Ayame using Tachi: Gekko - with no skills before or after her from the party. Lets assume a party of two players.

Then, After the log message reads "Ayame uses Tachi: Gekko" and the damage is listed, I use my skill, Blade: Ten.

One time, this did darkness as a chain.
Every other time since? No skill chain. I'm not sure why. Ive varied the timing, by waiting a few seconds and still nothing. What am I misunderstanding about how to execute skill chains?

I Tried to do an impact skill chain as well with blade: Jin but that also didnt work. Its so hit or miss sometimes that I just end up confused lol.
