Trivia[]
- Several boss encounters in DC Universe Online use this ability (or something very similar) as their own mechanic, usually following a red skull icon. In most cases, in the combat log this is named Spike Wave. Examples of boss encounters that use this include: Terra in the Titans: H.I.V.E. Reborn raid, Devastator in the Dark Knights: The Source Wall raid, Coralmancer in the Atlantis: Crown of Thorns raid, amongst others. This usually deals heavy damage and knockback to players who are not blocking. In some cases the boss will punch the ground to produce the animation, whereas when a player uses the Shard ability they stomp their foot.
