==In-Game Description==
Deal X damage to all enemy units and drain 100 Focus.
==Details==
Strikes all enemies 1 time, dealing Lightning damage (X) with 320% of the caster's Power. If this ability hits, 100 Focus is drained from the hit enemies. This ability also has a +100% Hit. Bonus. Furthermore, this ability starts with a cooldown of 5 turns, which immediately ticks down when entering a fight, meaning it's available for use on the 5th turn. Lastly, after it has been used, it enters a cooldown of 7 turns.

==Tactics==
The abnormally high Power scaling this ability has makes it deal a lot of damage against enemy units with average to low Defense. If this ability doesn't kill an enemy outright, it will likely be severely injured, meaning a few follow-up attacks will finish the job. This is made easier by the 100 Focus drain which guarantees that the party can act again before the enemy, given that they have higher Speed.
This ability is less effective, but not entirely useless, against boss enemies with Focus drain resist. Furthermore, the massive damage can backfire if the enemy the party is facing has the Black Mirror passive.
==Trivia==
*This ability is similar to Shockwave, an ability from the Lightning Strain. Unlike Shockwave, this ability has a significantly higher Power scaling, a +100% Hit. Bonus and slightly lower cooldown.
**It's also similar to the unused ability Shock, which essentially is the non-AoE version of this ability.
*The focus drain effect on this ability is actually gained through a reaction. This however makes no difference than modifying the ability's focus mod stats directly.
