Knockback (XC1)

Knockback (also called pushback for differentiaion from other knockbacks) is a property of some attacks in Xenoblade Chronicles. An attack that inflicts knockback causes its target to be pushed away from the attacker, which will generally interrupt whatever the target was doing. Blow-down is a more potent form of knockback.

Several enemies, generally large ones or those rooted to the ground, are immune to knockback. It is not a status or debuff, and so bypasses any status or debuff resistance/immunity.

Being hit by knockback will remove any existing. It will also cancel Sharla's Cool Off or Drive Boost auras.
