Flailing Attack

A Flailing Attack is pretty much the opposite of a Critical Blow: it's a slow, deliberate attack that emphasizes landing a blow at all over inflicting damage. This is particularly useful for keeping an opponent's attention! It could be a feint, a flurry of quick blows, a series of blasts meant to steer the enemy into a trap, or a means of forcing a hoverbot below a certain altitude. The defender's Opposing Value drops 2 Column Shifts, but his Resistance Value increases by 3 Column Shifts.

Flailing Attacks are compatible with most kinds of attacks, and are particularly useful in conjunction with Grappling Attacks, Multi-Attacks , and Team Attacks.
