— In-game description

Impalement (PvP) is an action unlocked at level 30. It is available for Dark Knight.

Notes

• It takes approximately one second for this action to deal damage. Like most other attacks that deal damage after a delay, it can be timed and executed pre-emptively on targets under the effect of Guard to immediately deal damage to them, or in conjunction with other skills to deal increased burst damage.
• Because this action is snapshotted late, it may not hit opponents who appear to be within range. It is typically executed subsequently after Salted Earth at any amount of HP as a result. If under the effect of Undead Redemption, the lifesteal effect will trigger twice, allowing for a potent burst heal even when only hitting one enemy.
