Binding Needle

Description

Judgment Blade is most effective against an Apostle under the effect of a Binding skill. This skill begins with a short stun duration which can be increased through training. Stunned Apostles are extremely vulnerable to damage, so coordinate your attack with the rest of your team. Can be stacked up to 5 times.

Details

• Passively causes Judgment Blade to inflict stun.
• Rather than AP, this skill requires Crusader Points to level.

Trivia

• Obtaining this subskill used to require smiting a fully-bound Apostle 50 times to unlock. This has changed since the NEXT New Beast update.
  • This could have been bypassed by using a Dogma of Smiting.
