Notes

• The effect of this skill lasts for 0.9 seconds, during which time the user is immobilized.
• This skill strikes between 1 and 3 times, depending highly on position and movement of enemy/enemies.
• When one or more monsters are on a single cell of this skill, the number of hits are reduced by 1 per monster, to a minimum of one hit to one monster.
• This skill does not work when wearing a shield with Golden Thiefbug Card.
• The Holy property is applied at the end of calculations, which means the following: Holy × Weapon property for the physical portion, and Neutral × Holy property for the magic portion.
• Though a Hybrid skill, it seems to scale far better with INT as the main stat and high Weapon Attack better than having high STR and low INT (Example: 50 STR and 90 INT with a decently high Weapon Attack damage will hit harder than 90 STR and 50 INT with the same weapon).
• Defense values are not applied to this skill in the same way as they are applied to other skills. It appears that Hard Defense is subtracted off the final damage value instead of reducing damage by a percent, basically treating it as Soft Defense.
• The overall damage (including the magic portion) is strangely affected by long-ranged modifiers such as Archer Skeleton Card.
