Knockback.png

Knockback

Attacks by a knockback entity will cause the target to be knocked back the opposite direction, and will cause specific effects based on the tile behind it:

  • A monster: both entities are dealt 80% of Knockback% of your base damage as typeless damage.
  • Empty: the target is moved to the empty tile
  • Indestructible tile or map edge: no effect
Knockback damage is applied after normal damage: if you are relying on the knockback damage to finish off the monster, first strike won't be of any use and your opponent will have time to hit you.
Also, note that the knockback damage is applied after the cowardly effect. Thus when fighting a monster with this trait:
  • if you throw it into a wall, it will take knockback damage
  • if you throw it into a monster, it will escape before taking knockback damage
