Notes

• Cards that increase damage percentage-wise do not affect Shield Weight and Shield Refine on skills that consider those into damage calculation. They will affect Weapon Attack and Equip Attack only.
• Weapons that ignore defense work with this skill, as does the Ice Pick effect.
• This skill has no Cast Time, but has a 1 second animation. Enemies with the "Cast Sensor" flag will usually get one attack in in retaliation before the damage is applied.
• The total damage is inflicted in one bundle of 5 hits. This only affects the divisibility of the damage, which is rounded down.
