Knockdown

What's a Knockdown?

Knockdown (abbreviated as KD) occurs when using a certain attack that knocks down or a certain amount of attacks has been reached. It's best to not knockdown a monster/opponent since this leads to increased defense (in PvE) or a combo ending (in PvP). Even if you don't use knockdown attacks, the target may still knock down itself.

Conditions

The target will automatically knockdown when:

1)Three launch attacks hit. (Some exceptions)

2)The knockdown counter has been breached.

3)A knockdown attack has been used.

Knockdown Counter

The number of single Z attacks needed to knock down a monster is 20. In PvP, the amount is around 14-15.

Let Z = 1, having 20 as the maximum, 14-15 in PvP.
