What it does

A sudden roar, 0.15 s. Every S or M foe within 6 tiles that is in an attack's wind-up (creatures, bandits, npcId foes, your bout opponent) is broken out of it (to Recover, the attack on its cooldown, its pack token released) and takes 25 poise. An L body's wind-up breaks only if the roar comes in its last 0.3 s (otherwise it takes the 25 poise only). Foes not winding up take 10 poise, and S and M creatures among them are cowed 1.5 s. The timing is the technique: roar when they commit. Usable in every shape.

Edge: Startle

Radius 7.5 tiles (from 6).
