Hero Usage

• Heroes will use this skill whenever it is charged, but only when the target is knocked down.

Notes

• Both the full and concise descriptions fail to note that the target is also blinded.
• Normal mode foe AI will use this skill on any target, including a target that is not knocked down; they will not wait to use this skill on a knocked down target even if they have a skill that can cause knock down (e.g. Grawl). Hero and hard mode foe AI will only use this skill on a knocked down target.

Trivia

• One of the few skills that tries to explain its effect ("...the resulting dust cloud..."). In the past many skills were described in this way, but the introduction of concise skill descriptions led to most of them being removed. Before Prophecies was released in 2005, the skill described blood spatter rather than a dust cloud. Similarly the target had to be "on the ground."
