User blog:Linathan/Mechanic Spotlight: Taunting

The Taunt buff (also known as Provoke) is a buff that was introduced in Leon's Deception. Minotaurs would cast the buff, limiting the player to only attack the unit who is under the effect of Taunt. This buff later became available to the first unit released in the Soul Bound Saga series, Ultor. Ultor is currently the unit that utilizes this effect.

The Taunt buff is represented by a rage-like symbol. While a unit is under this effect, its enemies can only target that unit. If multiple units are utilizing Taunt, the enemies are limited to attacking only the two units that are affected by Taunt.

However, despite Taunt limiting the enemies to said user, other units within the same party can still be hit by AoE attacks.

Tips

 * This buff can be used in conjunction with buffs that recover BB gauges when attacked, allowing the user to repeatedly use Taunt to protect other units in the squad.
 * This buff can be used along with Angel Idol to endure ultimate attacks, like Xie'Jing's Soul Extinguish, Maxwell's Destiny, Lugina's Grand Hazard, etc.
