Throw is a type of attack that was first introduced in Version 3.8 with
Valkyrie Gloria, the first battlesuit to utilize this function.
Currently, this function exists on all Lance weapons, with all having the minimum of a Throw Attack weapon skill.
Overview
Throw Attacks can be performed by the Captain by simply tapping the weapon skill.
- Captains can't perform a Throw Attack at enemies in Invincibility or Iron Body state. Attempting to use a Throw Attack at these enemies will result in simple front stab with minimal damage.
- Enemies being attacked by a Throw Attack will be unable to move, evade, or attack and will be rag-dolled during the duration of the Throw.
- Captains are unable to perform any actions during Throw Attack animation. This type of attack can't be canceled.
- Enemy combat moves can be completely interrupted by Throw Attacks, and the enemy will also "forget" their last combat move.
- Throw Attack damage is specified in the weapon skill, any extra damage comes from other sources such as the battlesuits themselves and/or other equipment and supports. The base damage for a Throw in lances is 90%.
- Throw Attacks do not consume SP.
Throw Counterattacks
Throw Counterattacks are when, during certain enemy moves, the Throw Attack button is overwritten with a flashing counterattack button to perform a special animation, unlike a normal Throw. Throw Counterattacks can be activated regardless of Throw Attack cooldown as long as there is a prompt, and they also will not trigger a weapon skill's cooldown. The base damage for a Throw Counterattack in lances is 20%.
