Affected By Action Speed

Forbidden Secret Manual (II) is needed to unlock this skill, available through the Power of Transcendence Skill Quest or Item Mall.

Because of its very long forward range, the skill is best used on wider targets.
The shockwave lifts enemies up slightly and carries them with it, assuming they are not in Super Armor.
- Because the shockwave slows down a little near the end of its range, it can actually deal more hits on enemies near its tail end. You should always back up a bit before casting the skill to maximize hits.
The hit count of the shockwave varies a lot based on enemy size, your distance from them, and if they can be lifted by the skill.
- Small enemies lifted by the skill will take an average of 16 hits, though with very specific spacing, it can reach up to 21 hits.
- Medium-sized enemies with Super Armor will take an average of 15 hits. When hitting them from further away, it can reach up to 17 hits.
- Large enemies that can take all hits of the skill include Ancient Bone Dragon and Debrian Nasod Carrier.
The Maximize increase is multiplicative.

In Raven's voice webtoon "Double Crow", Shockwave is powerful enough to split a mountain.
