Knockback, also known as Push, is a disable control effect that interrupts affected targets, briefly disables them, and moves them away from the effect's source. Unlike launch, knockback will not move downed players, and will not throw enemies over low obstacles. While many of these abilities do not list any Defiance Break in their tooltip, most sources of Knockback do 150 damage to Defiance bars.
