Power Knock-Back

From MapleWiki
NOTE: The subject of this article has been removed from the game by the Ascension Update.

Description

Uses MP to improve the success rate of knocking back enemies when swinging a bow. The higher the level of this skill, the more enemies and greater chance the character will knock back.

Master Level: 20

Type: Active

Note: This skill is commonly referred to as "PKB" within the game.

Note: Since GMS Patch 0.35, PKB has been nerfed and now cannot make a monster 'flinch' if it fails. It will either do nothing except damage, or make the monster go flying backward.

Note: The damage formula and Rate of Knock-Back is extremely chaotic and currently unknown. The only proven fact is that the amount of SP in Power Knock-Back positively affects the rate (%) of successful knock-backs. It is best not to max it as to the third job it would be usless as you can now shoot from the sky.

Theories of Power Knock-Back

  • Your level affects the rate (%) of successful knock-backs.
  • The level of the monster affects the rate (%) of successful knock-backs.
  • The damage that Power Knock-Back does has little or no correlation to the rate of successful knock-backs
  • The size (in pixels) of the monster affects the rate (%) of successful knock-backs.
  • The stats of the monster affects the rate (%) of successful knock-backs.
