Shadow Bind

From Mabinogi World Wiki

Description

Shadow Bind.png
This ancient technique binds enemies to their own shadow, effectively pinning them in place. You can attack during this skill, but your own movement will be restricted.

Details

  • Requires a shuriken equipped in order to use.
  • Binds enemies in place using their own shadows, preventing them from moving or retaliating.
    • There is a small start-up time before the actual binding takes place, which can cause displacement lag if the target moves while the binding occurs.
    • The user is free to move and attack while the bind is in place.
      • However, while in use, a white circle appears under the user. Walking out of this circle will automatically cancel the bind.
    • Attacking a bound target will not cancel the bind.
    • Bind rate is 100%, however some enemies cannot be bound. For a list of enemies immune to this skill, see here.
    • Enemies bound on use will not notice or aggro the user.
    • Bound targets will display a circle of stars over their head; this is not to be confused with Daze.
      • Bound targets cannot be knocked back by any means.
      • Despite being bounded, they will still exhibit knockback in place, allowing for Assault Slash.
  • While the skill is loaded, Kunai markers will mark potential targets who will be affected by the skill.
    • However these markers are only guidelines as enemies can move in and out of range before the skill's execution.
    • The user may not move while the skill is loaded.
  • Cannot be used while on a Hot-Air Balloon.

Skill Issues

  • Multiple Shadow Binds may accidentally unbind monsters when used in conjunction with other players.
  • Monsters knocked back multiple times while bound may cause the monster to disappear from the player's view. This only affects the user in many cases. Other players may attack the monster.
  • Inflicting status aliments such as Frozen Blast/Ice Dragon's freezing or the Scooter's Burnout stun may cause enemies to retaliate while being bound after the duration of the status expire.
  • Enemies knocked back by NPC's/pets will still be knocked back in many cases, although their position will not update graphically immediately.
  • Using skills such as Act 6: Crisis or Shooting Rush will cause displacement lag during start-up, although the enemies binded may not update their position on the client's side.

Obtaining the Skill

Training Method

Tips

  • Shadow Bind can easily be trained on Mimics, as they will not aggro on bind.
  • The Episode 7 mission Tense Escape features enemies who can be lured behind barrier spikes they cannot walk through or around, and boasts a 90 minute mission duration allowing for easy training without risk of being hit.
