How it works in Champions

Damage is calculated using the user's Defense stat as its Attack, including changes. Other effects that modify the Attack stat are used as normal.

  • Makes contact

“The user attacks by slamming its body into the target. The higher the user's Defense stat, the greater the damage this move deals.”
