Tanjiro’s Maple Adventure

Upon accepting the [Demon Slayer] Tanjiro’s Maple Adventure quest, the [Tanjiro’s Support] and [Tanjiro’s Support: Dancing Flash] skills will be added to the Beginner skill tab and removed when the event ends. When [Tanjiro’s Support: Dancing Flash] is used, Tanjiro appears and inflicts large damage onto all enemies on the field.
