===Notes===
*Against players, only their [[Def#Soft DEF|soft defense]] is decreased.
*This skill does not affect [[Undead]] property and [[Boss Protocol|Boss]] [[monster]]s.

==Applications==
*This skill is great for freeing monsters/players from ice, so they are hit by more hits of skills like [[Storm Gust]] or so they can escape from the [[Status Effects#Frozen|frozen]] status.

===PvM===
*This skill can be used to aggravate [[monster]]s without dealing damage to them. This is helpful for tanking low level monsters for other players.
*Provoking monsters with a higher level of this skill will weaken them considerably, allowing much more damage to be dealt to them, unless the player is leveling with [[DEF|defense]]-piercing or formula-flipping skills or weapons, such as an {{item |id=1230 Ice Pick}}.
*This skill counts as a "hit" (or rude attack) on a [[monster]] that is behind an [[Ice Wall|icewall]], or otherwise can't reach the user (if it is not a [[Boss Protocol|Boss]] or [[Undead]] property [[monster]]), and will cause it to use [[Teleport]]. Due to this, attack-based [[autocast]] equipment has a chance to trigger on the target with every successful use of this skill.

===PvP===
*Although this skill can weaken [[monster]]s considerably, it is often unwise to use it on opponents in [[PvP]]; they will gain an [[ATK]] boost for a minor [[DEF#Soft DEF|soft defense]] drop. However, allies can benefit from it in many ways.
*Provoking players that do not benefit from an [[ATK]] boost with the intent of doing more damage to them may also be unwise if the user or party members would normally deal more damage with an {{item |id=1230 Ice Pick}} or skill/weapon of that type.
*This skill is a good method for interrupting casts, especially during [[War of Emperium|WoE]] where {{item |id=4077 Phen carded}} [[accessories]] are disabled. '''Provoke''' also works in stopping a [[Sacrifice|sacrificed]] opponent's cast, which would otherwise be uninterruptible. This skill at Level 1 can be used here to conserve SP unless there is a large [[Levels|Level]] difference.
*Note that this skill fails against {{item |id=4141 Evil Druid}} armored players ([[Undead]] property). This can hint for the use of a [[Holy]] or [[Fire]] property weapon/endow for boosted damage.
