Description
Supports Melee Strike skills, causing them to create an Aftershock that damages enemies around the target when they Heavy Stun an enemy.

All Impact Shockwave Gem Effects

Effects
・Supported skills create an Aftershock when they Heavy Stun an enemy, dealing the same damage to enemies within 1.8 metres

Latest Patch Update

  • Impact Shockwave: This now actually makes aftershocks, allowing interaction with aftershock-specific area and damage modifiers. Previously it was actually a variant of Melee Splash, which did not benefit from those. This also allows a strike to cause both an Impact Shockwave aftershock, and melee splash, from the same hit. This can now support non-strike Wind attacks.
