Aside from it being useful and hilarious at times, it tends to knock people down, which is one of the ways you can do some crowd control (freeze/shock/knockdown) where that enemy basically can't do anything and may be extra vulnerable. | Aside from it being useful and hilarious at times, it tends to knock people down, which is one of the ways you can do some crowd control (freeze/shock/knockdown) where that enemy basically can't do anything and may be extra vulnerable. | ||
'''Don't be dismayed by the ever-increasing number of points required for higher Ability Ranks''' | |||
