[edit] Notes

• This skill has the second longest player-usable knock down in the game, bypassing the 3 second maximum. (Tied with the Junundu skills Choking Breath and Junundu Smash). Only Sugar Shock has a longer knockdown.
• This is the only skill that allows secondary warriors to reach a 3 or 4 second knockdown with a hammer.
