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.

- Changed so it targets certain area in front.
- Can force the counter attack by pressing the skill key one more time before the skill ends, this costs extra MP.
- The counter attack changed so it doesn't knock down and gives hitstun instead.
