Tips and Details

• Despite the tooltip stating the [Enhanced] effect only increases the Shockwave damage, it affects the Kick damage as well.
  • This is a glitch, and was supposed to be fixed on the 07/28/2016 KR patch, though the Kick is currently still affected.

Trivia

• Sobat is derived from a Japanese wrestling technique known as ローリング・ソバット (lit. Rolling Sobatto), a specific type of "Ushiro-geri" or simply "Back Kick".
