Tips and Details

• Metal Dust Aura can deal up to 1,601% (490% in PvP) Magical Damage, assuming all hits connect.
• Metal Dust Aura gives MP and charges Awakening to the opponent per hit.
• Although the damage is continuous, only the initial hit will inflict hitstun.
  • If an opponent affected by stun is hit by Metal Dust Aura, the stun effect will be removed and they can immediately move.
• It is mainly used to fill up the Awakening Gauge quickly.
• The range of the skill is more or less the range of a attack.
• Metal Dust Aura should not be used against bosses as it contributes to aggro hits.
• The fragments can activate counter attacks, but you will not flinch as you would when you hit counter initially.
