Shadows vs Ranged attacks

[Zagen]

Range Attacks can wiff and not take a shadow away.

Unless they changed it this is only true for Ninja monsters.

There has been true all over the place.

I have been fighting RNG mobs and if they wiff while I have shadows up, it states that they missed and I still have 1-3 shadows left. Even EES have wiffed while I have shadows up. You just don't SEE it often because of the Accuracy Bonus trait (and the increases thereafter as the mob's level goes up).

Those Goblin Ambushers in Bubu must be the exception then, cuz they have some crazy ranged accuracy when shadows are up:

Edit: pretty sure against a level 90 NIN they would have a floored 20% ranged accuracy if ranged attacks from a ranger monster didn't always eat a shadow
