What it does

A low cut at the legs (in a Wolf form, a snap at the hocks) at the nearest foe in the weapon's reach, arc 80 deg, one target. Power 1.4, 8 stagger. Slows it 35 % for 3 s (S and M bodies; 20 % on L), with the engine's slow status (it never stacks into a freeze). On a flank blow the slow is 50 % for 4 s, on top of the flank's own bonus. A hamstrung foe counts as slowed for Run It Down, Bring It Down and Lie in Wait.

Edge: Deep Cut

Slow 35 % -> 45 % (flank 50 % -> 60 %).
