[edit] Notes

• Although no damage will be dealt, Distracting Blow can perform a critical hit and the user will gain 1 adrenaline for each foe that is interrupted.
• Skills like Order of Pain trigger when this skill is used.
• Unlike Cyclone Axe and contrary to the concise description, this skill does not cause Illusionary Weaponry to trigger on adjacent foes.
