Tips and Details

  • Despite the tooltip in-game stating the [Enhanced] effect only increases the Shockwave damage, it actually affects the entire skill.
    • This is technically a glitch, and was supposed to be fixed on the 07/28/2016 KR patch, though the Kick was still affected after that and since the 09/11/2019 patch, the additional Backstep damage is also increased.


Trivia

  • The skill is based on DFO's Female Gunner skill Needle Sobat
  • Sobat is derived from a Japanese wrestling technique known as ローリング・ソバット (lit. Rolling Sobatto), a specific type of "Ushiro-geri" or simply "Back Kick".
  • The first part of the skill is virtually identical to Backstep before it was changed to an evasion skill.


Old Version

Video Description
Between its initial release and the 09/11/2019 KR Patch, Needle Sobat only consisted of a kick and did not include a back step attack.
