Effect Overview

• Occasionally adds an additional kick attack each combat round.
• This effect is only active using hand-to-hand.
• Kick Attacks effect from gear does not require the job trait to be enabled.
• Equipment with the effect of "Kick Attacks +" is generally believed to increase the rate of kicks by that many percentage (i.e. +5 returns a 5% increase), although there is some evidence to suggest that a lower percentage is returned.
• Kick damage is equal to base Hand to Hand damage (the damage of a punch with no weapon equipped). Damage can be increased by equipping footwear with the hidden "Kick Damage" effect, such as Kung Fu Shoes, Wulong Shoes, and Dune Boots.
