<hr />
<div>'''Backslam''' is a [[Warrior]] [[ability]]. <br />
<br />
==In-Game Description==<br />
<br />
<q>''(Active) As a {{iconify|swift action}}, every other turn, [[Hero]] knocks an enemy up to '''x''' tiles away, dealing '''y''' damage (1 damage for each Armor [[Hero]] has).''</q><br />
<br />
== Upgrade ==<br />
<br />
''<q>Knock the target into another enemy to displace it, deal half damage (1/2 of [[Hero]]'s Armor), and Hobble both enemies.</q>''<br />
<br />
In addition to the effects of basic Backslam, this upgraded will displace, hobble, and deal half damage to the enemy the target lands on.<br />
<br />
==Specifics==<br />
<br />
* distance = <code>2.6 + [[Potency]]/2</code><br />
* damage = <code>[[Armor (Stat)|Armor]]</code><br />
* The target position can be chosen, similarly to [[Vinewrench]].<br />
* [[Long Reach]] affects the grab distance, but not the throw distance.<br />
<br />
==Tips==<br />
<br />
* As a swift action, gives the warrior an extra attack every other turn. This is most valuable if they don't already have something to do with their swift action.<br />
<br />
* Can be used to set up allies for flanking, though you have to be careful to consider where the enemy is going to be slammed to.<br />
<br />
* Combines well with Knightmail; armor-boosting abilities like [[Stalwart]], [[Tinker]], and [[Engage]]; and certain [[theme]] effects that boost armor.<br />
<br />
* Note that moving an enemy several tiles away is not always desireable if it prevents the warrior from following up with a melee strike to kill it.<br />
<br />
* Does not trigger [[Broadswipes]].<br />
