Tips[]
- The skill will effectively cause Quen to work similarly to Aard.
- As of Patch 4.0, it will stun shield-wielding opponents, especially while under the effects of Superior Petri's Philter. It will not, however, put out the flames of a fire elemental.
- The effect can be used at will when combined with Active Shield level 3, as the skill will activate whenever the alternate sign is released, and at level 3 it does not use up stamina.
