Knockback

Knockback is a common status effect in item asylum. Players or NPCs affected by knockback are applied a force that pushes them in a direction. Unlike hitstun or ragdoll, those affected by knockback may still use items.
Knockback is a highly variable status effect, as its power and angle differ greatly between sources. For example, wand's knockback is powerful and angled forward, while sugarcoat's knockback is weak and angled upward. Most explosions inflict knockback that changes in angle depending on the victim's position in relation to the explosion's epicenter. The time length of knockback also varies; backhand slap's knockback, while not very powerful, lasts for an above-average period of time before ending.
Players may become immune to knockback by being chosen as a juggernaut, spawning as a tank zombie, or using dollhunter's Sharp Spin ability. All bosses with the exception of Takeo Ischi and Trash Gang are immune to knockback.

==Notes==
* Players experiencing a high amount of internet lag may sometimes be rendered immune to knockback, as they simply do not receive that they have been inflicted with knockback until the effect is already over.
* Knockback may be mitigated by temporarily suspending the game. This can be achieved on PC by setting Roblox into windowed mode, then clicking and holding on the title bar of the Roblox window. Note that this is generally impractical and liable to be perceived as exploiting.
**This same technique may be used in Klevprime to prevent falling into the void after touching the Farron Dagger.
* Items that can inflict knockback on their user, such as chinalake or milk, can be utilized to rocket jump at the cost of health.
