Puppet's Snare

Description

Binds an enemy with the thread of your Control Bar. The target continues to take damage even after the skill ends.

Details

A Gray Wolf being snared by a player.

• Requires a Control Bar equipped in order to use.
• Attempting to use Puppet's Snare while controlling a marionette will disconnect the marionette first.
• Attaches strings onto the enemy and holds the enemy in place.
  • Damage is dealt in 3 different parts: the bind, the final hit or detachment, and the damage over time after the skill ends.
    • The bind and detachment deals damage proportional to the skill rank.
    • Bind deals damage for every second the monster is held in place.
      • Duration is determined by the skill rank.
      • Bind damage is half of the listed damage over time, rounded.
    • Damage over time is the damage tick that occurs every 3 seconds after detachment.
      • Ending the skill early will start the counter for the damage ticks.
    • Bind and damage over time is not influenced by the player's damage range.
    • All damage variables are reduced by the target's Defense/Protection. The damage over time is also reduced by Natural Shield (Monster).
    • Bind and damage over time cannot lower the target's HP below 1, but detachment can kill.
      • If the target is in Deadly status, bind will display 0 per tick.
    • Bind and damage over time ignores Invulnerability, Mana Shield status, and Commerce's damage reduction.
    • Bind and damage over time cannot score criticals.
  • During the skill's bind, attacks from other sources will deal additional damage.
  • If the enemy receives a knockback, the attachment will cancel and the damage over time tick will occur.
  • Certain monsters as well as enemies with "Finish" above them cannot be targeted with this skill; a system message will say "Invalid Target". A list of unsnareable monsters can be found here.
• Ignores Defense, Counterattack, Lance Counter, and Combo: Counter Punch.
• Does not inflict wounds.
• The bind can still harm enemies affected by Ice Spear if Puppet's Snare is used before the target is frozen, but the detachment damage does not occur.
• The bind can attack enemies behind Barrier Spikes, but the detachment and damage over time will instead affect the barrier.
• In addition to loading the skill, the bind uses miniscule stamina.
• The user will be temporarily stalled for a second after detachment, giving enough time for the opponent to retaliate.
  • This does not occur if the user cancels early.
• If the enemy has a skill loaded during the attachment, it will not cancel.
• If the detachment hit kills a monster with Self-Destruct, the skill will fail to activate and no explosion will occur.
• You cannot interact with props while the skill is loaded.
• Cooldown begins after binding an monster. Assuming the skill is not canceled early, the final cooldown time is essentially: Cooldown - Bind Duration

Skill Issues

• If lag is experienced during the bind, all damage ticks might not occur.
• Snaring an enemy being knocked back/down or a downed enemy may cause displacement lag.
