Overview
Raging Palm Strike is a Champion-exclusive strike that channels explosive ki into a focused palm blow. The caster appears to absorb the incoming hit for a split second before the true force arrives: the damage and knockback land one second after activation, not on cast. This deliberate delay rewards precise positioning and timing.
The skill requires the Explosion Spirits (Fury) status to be active, so it is always part of a Fury-empowered combat sequence.
Mechanics
Damage
The skill deals a single hit of physical weapon-property damage calculated as:
- Damage = (200 + 100 × SkillLv) % ATK
| Level | ATK Modifier |
|---|---|
| 1 | 300% |
| 2 | 400% |
| 3 | 500% |
| 4 | 600% |
| 5 | 700% |
Delayed application
When cast, the client displays a brief "absorbed damage" animation. One second later the real hit resolves, simultaneously dealing the damage and knocking the target back 3 cells. This is a server-side timer event; the delay cannot be reduced.
Knockback
The target is knocked back 3 cells at the moment the delayed hit lands. If the target is against a wall, the unreachable cells are simply wasted.

Notes
- Explosion Spirits is mandatory. The skill cannot be used without the Fury buff active on the caster.
- The after-cast delay is a fixed 300 ms and does not scale with ASPD.
- Because the damage lands via a timer skill, it is affected by the target's position at the moment of impact (1 second after cast), not at the moment of activation.
- This skill has no additional combo bonus — it uses the base formula only.
