Knockback

• Target knocked back from attacker and put into hit recovery. Targets can be knocked back a distance of up to three sub-tiles when unobstructed, but occasionally they will only be knocked back one or two (or even just put into hit recovery without moving). This distance cannot be increased. [1]

• Does not apply if target is frozen or killed.
• Item Knockback is applied by successful melee and ranged attacks. Equipping more than one item has no effect. No penalties apply to any attack or target, although chance of Knockback being applied is dependent on target having a Knockback animation mode, and on target size:
