Status Effects Movement Speed Up

Steadfast Effect

Lucario gains increased Movement Speed and a shield at half HP.

How to Use Steadfast

Initiate fights and retreat when necessary

This Ability can quickly help turn a disadvantageous fight around. While the shield is temporary, it does help Lucario dodge what could potentially be a killing blow.

Once the effect activates, unleash Lucario's fiercest combos to turn the battle around. Should the opponent remain alive, retreat back quickly which should be made a bit easier thanks to the increase in speed.

Steadfast Patch History

1.3.1.2 Stat Decrease
1.2.1.8 Activation frequency decreased.
1.19.1.2 Cooldown decreased from 60s to 45s.
