How it works

Debilitating Backhand is built from 3 client effects, applied in this order:

  2. Effect 2 is Knock Back (effect type 98). Its base value is 100.
  3. Effect 3 is effect type 140, which the datamine does not name. It triggers Shattered Defenses.

What it does

Debilitating Backhand is a Physical spell with a 2 sec cast and an unlimited range. When cast it deals Physical damage (base value 75) and has a Knock Back effect. It also casts Shattered Defenses.
