Is it just me or does Kuma feels kinda inconsistent?

Hi there! So I recently got into the game (bought it a while ago actually, but just recently got into it). And I'm loving it!

But there's one ability I don't know really how it works. Takuma's Kuma. I figured out early on that you can basically drag an enemy all the way to an isolated place so that you can eliminate him out of anyone's sight. Don't know if Kuma was ever intended to be used that way, but it can be done. However, it doesn't always work. Like, if I send Kuma, bait an enemy, then move Kuma a few steps then try to bait again, most of the time the soldier will follow, but once in a while he'll just ignore it and move away, despite the fact Kuma's circle is still in his range.

Is there something I'm doing wrong with it? I mean, maybe it was never even intended to be used that way to begin with? Or is there a particular reason why the soldier won't always follow Kuma?

(Note: I'm not sending it in bushes or anything like that either. In fact, one time I was dragging 3 soldiers at the same time (hoping to get a Mugen kill), but there was always one of them, just one, who decided to just stop following for no reason...)

from my experience, you need to move kuma a reasonable amount before the guards reset their attention to follow kuma again. sometimes yeah it doesnt work but i quickly just reposition and use kuma again in quick succsession and that usually solves the problem

Before triggering Kuma's taunt an additional time, wait for the guards' viewcones to revert from purple back to green. If you trigger the taunt when the viewcone is still purple, the timer on the guards' attention will not reset.

This. I had a few times when I couldn't get it to work until I figured this out.
