Yui puppet observations

That last part is probably just a delay in the attack. Pummel has that too; finishing an enemy with them gives them a black bar when they get "kicked" (which does no damage at all, since its the flurry of punches that does damage and the enemy immediately receives the flurry damage).

Do you mind checking if Yui Strike ignores Invulnerability and Passive Defenses? Because I keep hearing she does the former.

Tested on Amethyst Magic Golem - Yui Strike simply passes through with no effect. It doesn't hit 1, it simply ignores the golem. I tested it four times to be sure.

Edit: Yui Strike's attack radius is also apparently gigantic. I just logged in and used it in Filia, outside Longa Dungeon, and decimated every armadillo in render range. I'll be confirming that later.

Err... try Arc Lich? Also try test it on any other golem and see if it hits those.

Is the attack radius an arc or does it hit everything around you?

Okay, it seems I lied. I just used it on a Shadow Commander for 1.8k-ish damage. Def/prot reduce, maybe? Perhaps it has an upper damage limit of 5k? Very curious.

I'll be testing her on Ceo Island in a few minutes. Her cooldown is freaking annoying.

I'm curious to know if she does physical damage or magical damage.

Just tested to rather comedic effect on Ceo Island - Yui Strike does not effect Golems. At all. It simply ignores them. I used it on a group of easily 10 golems, and not a single one was struck.

Additionally: The user can be aggro'd during the skill, but cannot be attacked.

I will be testing magical/physical next. Arc Lich is a pain to spawn today, so I won't test that for now.

Huh, Yui Strike possibly has the same untargetable list as Puppet's Snare / Frozen Blast / Shadow Bind / Shadow Cloak / Etc? If it doesn't work on other mobs listed I think it is safe to assume it does.

We'll have to see. For now, I'm gonna drop it on some zombies and see what happens. If it's magic or ranged, i'll find out then...

Edit: Damage is PHYSICAL. Melee, specifically, since I wiped out half the zombies in the boss room of Their Method.

AoE radius is circular and gigantic, easily striking every zombie in their method boss room. Additionally, Yui Strike has a chance to inflict Fighter Daze. I did not expect that.

Oh yeah, and she triggers heavy stander.

Edit 2: Tested on Unknown Men. She does not hit those, either. I think it's safe to assume Yui Strike is subject to the same untargetable list as Snare.

I heard from someone else that Yui Strike hits Arc Lich which is included in that list (and dealt 1 damage), so there might be some differences.

EDIT: Never mind, he tested again and he said he accidentally hit one of those melee immune mobs. He did say he missed head doppelganger, which isn't snare immune.

It's apparently both unsnareable and advanced heavy stander list. I'll go see if it hits the plants in shyllien.

I'd say plants are more of a "rooted" than having advanced heavy stander. Might wanna try real advanced heavy stander monsters.

What about Sasquatch?

It missed on the plants.
