Stunning Blow

Monk skill · Fists line · tier 3

Beta 0.7.2

One precise punch, and the enemy stands still, seeing stars.

It is only used in combat once it is placed on the hero's active bar, and its 12 s cooldown is before cooldown reduction.

Values by rank

Stunning Blow scales with Chill. Its value at each rank is 171 + 49 × rank:
