Notes

• Evasion -150, which degrades by 10 each tick until wearing off at 50.
• The Evasion Down effect lasts for 30 seconds once a feint-enhanced blow lands.
• Feint is often utilized for "zerging" certain monsters, due to the severe nature of its Evasion Down effect.
• Despite the somewhat ambiguous wording, additional merits into Feint increase the Treasure Hunter level up rate by 25% for each merit beyond the first rank. The Treasure Hunter level up rate can be increased to a maximum of +100% at 5/5 merits into Feint, or doubling of the base rate while the enemy has the Feint debuff active. It does not automatically make the hit which applies Feint to also level up Treasure Hunter.
