Act 6: Crisis

Not to be confused with Crisis Escape.

Description

A Marionette skill that drags nearby enemies closer to your puppet. This part of the performance is the moment of crisis for the hero, when all hope is lost and she must draw upon her innermost strength.

Details

• Requires a summoned Pierrot Marionette or Colossus Marionette and a control bar equipped.
  • The marionette must be under the influence of Control Marionette.
• The marionette attaches strings onto all surrounding enemies and pulls them towards the marionette.
  • Both marionettes act similarly when using Crisis.
  • Stamina will continue to be drained until skill is performed or cancelled.
  • The marionette may temporarily hold the aggro of all enemies affected by the attack.
    • This effectiveness is determined by the skill rank and the CP of the enemy.
  • The marionette will gain a temporary Defense and Protection boost after successfully using Crisis. Both the marionette and the player will also temporarily receive Advanced Heavy Stander.
  • Being attacked after successfully loading the skill will grant one second Advanced Heavy Stander to both the marionette and the player.
  • Enemies with Advanced Heavy Stander as well as Barrier Spikes will not be affected by the pull, but are still harmed by the attack.
  • Mimics and Sulfur Golems that are in hiding will also be affected.
• Ignores Defense, Counterattack, Lance Counter, Combo: Counter Punch, and Melee Auto Defense.
• Unlike other act skills, Act 6: Crisis can be used even if an obstacle separates the player and the marionette, so as long as the marionette can reach the target.
• Unlike other melee skills, Act 6: Crisis is a distance-based skill and therefore aims for the center of the target's hitbox. As a result, monsters with very large hitboxes, such as the Giant Spider, may be difficult to target properly.
• Each successful use will increase the marionette's Spirit Gauge by 10%.

Skill Issues

• There are certain instances that the skill is triggered but does not pull in enemies.

Training Method

• "Use the skill successfully." only counts for one hit, regardless of how many enemies are struck.

Tips

• There are many ways to train "Attack x or more enemies":
  • Use Crisis on the enemies behind Barrier Spikes in Lingering Darkness or Battle for Taillteann I or II. The amount of enemies and spikes combined will be enough to contribute to the maximum amount needed.
  • Activate PvP in Provocation, then use Crisis on the player and the Barrier Spikes.
  • Lure in a large amount of mobs with Enthralling Performance or Taunt (Giant-only), preferably on weak ones such as Foxes in Tir Chonaill, then use Crisis on them.
    • Setting the finish rule to "Anyone in the Party" will allow double the training on the same group of mob, as the skill will target defeated enemies.

Trivia

• This skill is also known as Act 6: Temptation Trap in oversea servers.
• Prior to Renovation Season 2 there was a temporary moment of invincibility for all enemies drawn by Crisis. This frustrated users and commonly created issues in parties.
