Tips and Details

• There seems to be no limit on the number of enemies that can be provoked by one action. As long as they are within range, they will be affected.
  • The range of the debuff hit seems to be from Elesis to the edge of the screen.
• Provoke deals up to 3 hits: a sword strike (stuns), a debuff hit (doesn't stun or damage), and a counter strike.
  • The debuff hit can trigger Elsword's Aura of Destruction and Elesis's Iron Body - Strong.
  • If attacked too early during the animation, Elesis will counter without provoking or dealing a sword strike. It is possible however to counter after provoking if hit towards the end of the animation.
    • The counter will not interrupt the opponent's attack. Elesis will take 0 damage and no hitstun from that particular attack, then attack, passing through and launching the opponent. The damage dealt is the same as the skill's damage.
• Enemies affected by Provoke are indicated by red fumes.
