Tips and Details

Old Icon of Binding Circle.

• Binding Circle deals no damage.
• Note that increasing the level of this skill only increase the size of the aura, and not the time it freezes the enemies.
  • Due to this, depending on your play style, you can decide whether to increase the range of Binding Circle, increasing its Area of Effect, or keeping it at a relatively low level to keep enemies as close as possible, as a higher level of this skill will tend to put enemies in weird and hard to reach spots, more so if the enemy possesses Super Armor.
• When targets are in range of Binding Circle, they will immediately stand still, allowing you to either run away or start a combo.
  • You will still get hit if the target was swinging their weapon at the time of the skill and you went too close.
• With the long cooldown aside, this is a good skill to use Memorize on, since it doesn't suffer from any penalty as Memorize only has a damage penalty and Binding Circle deals none.
  • This tactic works best if Binding Circle is noted since the opponent will move slower for a prolonged period of time if used correctly.

Trivia

Noted Binding Circle's Fracture icon

• In the past, the Binding effect of this skill had its own status icon when equipped with the Skill Note.
  • The icon is now used as Middle Kick's Fracture icon.
• After the 06/08/2015 renewal, Binding Circle's animation looks identical to the first part of Dimension Witch's Fate Space, as both are Time-element spells.
