Act 4: Rising Action

From Mabinogi World Wiki

Description

Act 4- Rising Action.png A Marionette skill that deals damage and sends nearby enemies flying. This part of the performance is when the hero has fully accepted her destiny and rises to face all challenges head-on.

Details

  • Requires a summoned Pierrot Marionette or Colossus Marionette and a control bar equipped.
  • The marionette must be under the influence of Control Marionette.
  • The marionette performs an area of effect attack that knocks down all enemies surrounding the player, not the marionette, similar to Windmill.
    • Pierrot Marionettes circle the player, attacking surrounding enemies with a mallet and butcher knife.
    • Colossus Marionettes smash both fists into the ground, creating a shockwave which damages enemies.
  • The marionette may relocate next to the player depending how far it was.
    • It is possible for the marionette to reappear out of bounds when used in narrow areas.
  • Like Windmill, Act 4: Rising Action causes only one target to aggro the marionette as opposed to all.
  • Unlike Windmill, Act 4: Rising Action does not reset the enemy's AI.
  • Ignores the target's protection for calculating critical rate.
  • Ignores Counterattack, Lance Counter, Combo: Counter Punch, and Melee Auto Defense.
  • Knockdown is ignored by Advanced Heavy Stander.
  • Does not target Barrier Spikes.
  • Unlike Windmill and other melee skills, Act 4: Rising Action is a distance-based skill and therefore aims for the center of the target's hitbox. As a result, monsters with very large hitboxes, such as the Giant Spider, may be difficult to target properly.
  • There is a slight delay before activation, leaving the user vulnerable to attack or the enemy can run out of range. However, it does not stop the attack itself, unless of course the user becomes incapacitated.
  • Each successful use will increase the marionette's Spirit Gauge by 4%.
