How it works

Headbutt is built from 2 client effects, applied in this order:

  1. Effect 1 is Knock Back (effect type 98). Its base value is 125.
  2. Effect 2 is effect type 140, which the datamine does not name. It triggers Safe Fall.

What it does

Headbutt is a spell with a 1 sec cast and a range of 10 yards. When cast it has a Knock Back effect. It also casts Safe Fall.

Generated from the SpellEffect, SpellMisc, SpellCooldowns and SpellRange records in the current retail game build. Effects the client marks as internal hooks are left out.
