'''Eiha''' ({{ja|エイハ|Eiha}}, ''Eiha'') is [[Joker]]'s [[side special move]]. It instead becomes '''Eigaon''' ({{ja|エイガオン|Eigaon}}, ''Eigaon'') if used while [[Arsène]] is present.

==Overview==
When activated, Joker snaps his fingers, and sends out a small [[projectile]] with an explosive area of effect. The projectile doesn't do much [[damage]], but will cause the opponent to become [[curse]]d, taking damage over time. It can also be used to situationally start combos or escape disadvantageous situations thanks to its favorable launch angle.

If [[Arsène]] is currently out when the move is used, Joker instead uses Eigaon, a more powerful projectile that hits multiple times, and causes the curse to deal more damage and do so more frequently, but last slightly less time. It will also explode and leave a "pillar" of energy that maintains the multihit hitbox if it hits the floor, allowing it to be used for area control by the player. This is especially helpful if the opponent is on the ledge, although it is a committal option in this situation. The "pillar" can also block weaker projectiles, giving it some minor defensive utility. 

Opponents who are under the effects of Eiha or Eigaon make a discomforted facial expression (the same expression used by [[poison]]ed fighters and fighters that a [[Pikmin]] has latched onto).

It is also a [[Cloud Strife|Cloud]]'s weakness and can destroy blocks such as [[TNT]].

The damage taken from the curse is as follows.
* Eiha's curse deals 1% every 45 frames (the rehit rate), ending after 361 frames (6 seconds). Overall, it will deal 8%. 
* Eigaon's curse deals 1.5% every 40 frames, ending after 321 frames (5.35 seconds). Overall, it will deal 12%.

==Origin==
[[File:Eiha Persona 5.PNG|thumb|left|Eiha being used in ''Persona 5''.]]
[https://megatenwiki.com/wiki/Eiha Eiha] is a Death element Persona skill first appearing in ''{{iw|wikipedia|Revelations: Persona}}''. It reappears as a Curse element skill in ''{{iw|wikipedia|Persona 5}}'', while [https://megatenwiki.com/wiki/Eigaon Eigaon] makes its debut in the same game. Eiha is the basic form of the attack, while Eigaon is the most powerful single-target form. Notably, in ''Persona 5'', Arsène begins with Eiha but cannot normally learn Eigaon; however, Arsène has access to it in the first battle done in the prologue (which takes place in the halfway of the story) and can inherit it from other Personas. Arsène also learns it in the spin-off game ''{{iw|wikipedia|Persona Q2: New Cinema Labyrinth}}''. In ''{{iw|wikipedia|Persona 5 Strikers}}'', Arsène can also learn [https://megatenwiki.com/wiki/Maeigaon Maeigaon], a variation of Eigaon that hits all enemies (or in the case of ''Strikers'', hits a wider area of enemies) upon reaching Level 62.

The smoggy red, black, and purple effects are based off Eiha and Eigaon's appearance in ''Persona 5'', complete with Eigaon's swirling vortex and grinning face.

During the animation for both attacks, a blue flame effect appears around Joker's feet (the same as [[Rebel's Guard]]), based off the aura that appears when the Phantom Thieves are selecting and casting a Persona skill in ''Persona 5''. Joker's finger snap when using this attack harkens back to his animation in ''Persona 5'' when using an item in battle, while his kneeling down when casting Eigaon resembles Arsène's magic attack animation in the same game. 

The lingering damage effect is not present in ''Persona 5'', though it may be a reference to Eiha and other Death spells' attributes in ''Revelations: Persona'', where they deal persistent damage to the targeted enemy over the course of several turns.
