In PvP, opponents in a Super Armor state are able to attack but cannot use any skills, and they cannot move out of range without a massive amount of Movement / Jump Speed.
- The skill can sometimes break the immunity granted by Mana Break or reaching the Knockdown counter limit.
- This move generates a lot of MP and Awakening Gauge for your opponent in PvP, making it rather easy to Mana Break from.
  - This can be partially mitigated with the Evil trait, though the skill will still build more MP than it will burn.
- In team PvP, when paired with another Infinity Sword, it is possible to cycle skill uses to prevent an opponent from ever escaping even if they Mana Break one of your casts.
This skill is useful for fighting Epic NPCs, as they cannot retaliate if you use this on a wall, sucking them in without any ability to move.
