Chivalry Fist

After every 4 Basic Attacks, Badang's next Basic Attack deals 50 (+30% extra PA) physical damage to enemies hit and knocks them back. Enemies that are knocked into obstacles will be stunned for 0.6s (minions and creeps are stunned directly).
Fist Wind generated by Badang's skills can also trigger this effect.
Fist Wind
Cooldown: 10.4–7.2 s by level
knockbackslow
Badang unleashes a gust of Fist Wind in the target direction, dealing 125–225 (+90% extra PA) physical damage to enemies hit, slowing them by 30% for 1.5s, and knocking them back. The Fist Wind will explode upon hitting an obstacle, dealing 100–175 (+60% extra PA) physical damage to nearby enemies. Fist Wind can trigger attack effects and grants Badang 1 Chivalry Fist stack upon cast.
Badang stores up to 2 Fist Wind charges and restores 1 charge every 10.4s.
Fist Break
Cooldown: 9 s
knockbackshielddash
Badang dashes in the target direction, dealing 230–330 physical damage to enemies in his path while gaining a 350–600 shield that lasts 5 seconds. He stops immediately upon hitting an enemy hero, slightly knock back while creating an obstacle that lasts 4 seconds behind them. Enemies hit by the obstacle are dealt 130–180 physical damage.
Use Again: Badang removes the obstacle he created.
Fist Crack
Cooldown: 30 s
control immunity
Badang throws a flurry of punches in the target direction, dealing 60–120 physical damage to enemies hit 9 times over 2.5 seconds (can trigger attack effects). The Fist Wind generated by the punches will explode upon hitting an obstacle, dealing 30–60 physical damage to nearby enemies.

HOW TO PLAY AGAINST BADANG
- Do not waste crowd control during Fist Crack — it does not land then.
HIDDEN MECHANICS
What the in-game descriptions do not tell you: crowd-control rules and verified skill quirks. How crowd control works →
Chivalry Fist- Stun — basic-level control: interrupts only some skills, not most channels; blocked by control immunity.
- Chivalry Fist can trigger Basic Attack effects like Demon Hunter Sword, Feather of Heaven and benefit from Lifesteal as it is separate from the original basic attack. It however cannot Crit and be triggered twice by Golden Staff.
- Heroes knocked back to a wall are actually stunned for 2 seconds. This is also the case for Minions and Creeps hit.
- The Dashing speed of the 5th Basic Attack scales to Badang's Attack Speed.
- Heroes knocked back are moved a distance equal to the position of Badang and the edge of his Basic Attack range.
Fist Wind- Fist Wind can't crit or benefit from Spell Vamp, but it will trigger other Basic attack effects. The explosion damage does however, trigger Spell Vamp. Fist Wind triggers on-hit effects such as Blade of the Heptaseas' Ambush and Endless Battle's Divine Justice on-cast.
- The Chivalry Fist effect included is regarded as skill damage. It can trigger effects like Antique Cuirass' Deter and benefits from Spell Vamp.
- Heroes knocked back to a wall are actually stunned for 2 seconds. This is also the case for Minions and Creeps hit.
- It can damage turrets if casted inside their range but the damage dealt is based on Chivalry Fist not Fist Wind's stats.
- Heroes knocked back are moved a distance equal to the position of Badang and the edge of his Basic Attack range.
- Fist Wind's only explodes once even if passing through multiple obstacles,
- Heroes, Minions, and Creeps hit by Fist Wind's projectile right before it dissipates only takes damage and slow, but are not knocked back nor inflicted with Chivalry Fist damage. This could be the reason why Chivalry Fist couldn't deal damage to turrets outside their range despite able to outrange them.
Fist Break- Badang will only create an obstacle if he encounters Heroes on his way. He will pass through name = Guinevere's illusion, name = Sun's Dopplegangers or name = Hanzo's original body when Kinjutsu Pinnacle Ninja is active.
- Heroes knocked back are moved a distance equal to the position of Badang and the edge of his Basic Attack range but a bit farther than usual.
Fist Crack- Blade of the Heptaseas's Unique Passive Ambush triggers on the first hit of this skill.
- Endless Battle's Divine Justice and other passive effects alike will trigger on the first hit of this skill only if Badang has already casted another skill prior. This skill can only be cancelled/interrupted by Suppression during throwing.
- The Chivalry Fist effect included is regarded as skill damage. It can trigger effects like Antique Cuirass' Deter and benefits from Spell Vamp.
- Heroes knocked back to a wall are actually stunned for 2 seconds. This is also the case for Minions and Creeps hit.
- It can damage turrets once if casted inside their range but the damage dealt is based on Chivalry Fist not Fist Crack's stats.
- Heroes knocked back are moved to the edge of Fist Crack's skill range rather than a set distance.
- Heroes, Minions, and Creeps are only knocked back/stunned at the start of Fist Crack, this includes Chivalry Fist.
- Fist Crack's Fist Winds only explodes once even if passing through multiple obstacles,
- Heroes, Minions, and Creeps hit by Fist Crack's Fist Winds right at its very edge only takes damage, but are not knocked back/stunned nor inflicted with Chivalry Fist damage.
- Since Chivalry Fist is only triggered once at start of Fist Crack, this could be the the reason why Fist Crack couldn't continuesly damage turrets with Chivalry Fist.
