Related traits

Retribution

• Unwavering Avoidance — Gain vigor when successfully evading an attack.
• Dwarven Battle Training — Deal increased strike damage to weakened foes. Disabling a foe applies weakness. Disables include stun, daze, knockback, pull, knockdown, sink, float, fear, taunt, and launch.

Salvation

• Words of Censure — Blinding, immobilizing, or affecting a foe with crowd control heals nearby allies. Skills that strike many foes at the same time can heal multiple times.

Devastation

• Aggressive Agility — Movement skills grant resistance.

Renegade

• Ashen Demeanor — Disabling a foe cripples your enemy, which leaves them vulnerable and inspires you with Kalla's Fervor.
• Wrought-Iron Will — Evading an attack inspires you with Kalla's Fervor and grants boons to nearby allies.

Notes

• The knockback occurs from the point of impact with the enemy; if you hit them head on, you will push them further and continue your attack. If you catch them from the side, they will be pushed out of the way. Try to line up your attack to catch multiple enemies and avoid spreading them out by passing through the crowd.
• Each knockback counts for 150 defiance bar damage for up to 9 hits totaling 1350 defiance break.
