How to use Taunt in a run
Taunt protects the formation only when the Taunter can absorb the redirected pressure. It will not pull back an attack whose windup already began.
- Check the trigger condition.Range, Crit, cast, target, Rush, Stall, and quest requirements decide whether the effect appears at all.
- Check the first application.Timing can matter more than the final stack count, especially against an opening threat.
- Separate trigger from amplifier.Confirm the team can create the effect before buying equipment that only improves it.
