Tips and Details

  • Killing Howl cannot be manabroken.
  • While Wolf Stance 4: Wolf Fang's tooltip claims Killing Howl ignores defense, this is entirely false. Only strong wolves (from that skill's own [Enhanced] effect or from Howling Wolf) will ignore defense and guard. Normal wolves will not.
  • Initial requirement of Spirit Energy is 2. After Wind Wedge, 2 orbs will be consumed and 2 orbs will be returned. After Wolf Claw, 1 orb will be gained. After Wolf Fang, 2 orbs will be consumed.
    • Canceling Wolf Fang to use Killing Howl will not regain the 2 orbs used.
  • This Secret Art can hit mobs behind Ara and if used at point-blank range, it will hit mobs from behind, which is useful against mobs with shields like Glitter Defender but not recommended against Edan.
  • Wolf Stance 3: Wolf Claw and Wolf Stance 4: Wolf Fang can benefit from being in a Transcendent Skill Slot when chained into from the art prior to them, gaining the damage increase without consuming the buff.
  • The total MP usage can vary depending on the traits selected for Wolf Stance 2: Wind Wedge and Wolf Stance 4: Wolf Fang, as they can be Critical or Light respectively. At most, it will cost 212 MP, while at least, it will cost 168 MP.
  • Being part of Wolf Stance 4: Wolf Fang, the art gains damage from any Strength skill tier damage increases. It does not benefit from Wolf Fang's skill traits however.
  • After Korean 07/04/2019 RE:BOOT patch you are able to trigger Wolf Art even faster, as the last input of Wolf Stance 1 can be instantly canceled by Wind Wedge.


Trivia

Spirit Energy orb after unleashing Killing Howl
  • For a short while after successfully chaining to the final part of the Secret Art, a Spirit Energy orb will appear on the tip of Ara's spear. This serves no practical purpose and is just a visual effect, likely being a leftover from back when Killing Howl used to cast longer.
