Water Body
Water Body
Water Body is the Race V3 ability for the Shark race, unlocked by completing Arowe's quest and usable only while playing as Shark. Like other Race V3 abilities, it can be activated instantly by pressing T on PC or Up D Pad on console, making it quick to use during combat.
When activated, Water Body releases small sharks and surrounds the user with a blue and black lightning like aura. A water like cross appears around the user's torso, along with a blue heart on the left side of their chest while the ability is active.
Buffs:
Water Body temporarily increases the user's defense, reducing incoming damage by 70% for 4.5 seconds. The ability has a 30-second cooldown, making it most effective when timed to block powerful attacks, survive burst damage, or create an opening to counterattack rather than being used continuously.
Strengths
Can completely shut down most incoming attacks and combos.
Requires very little timing or skill to use effectively.
Commonly activated immediately after being hit by a stun move, such as Pole (2nd Form), to avoid taking the rest of the combo.
Many inexperienced bounty hunters do not know how to counter or play around it, making it especially effective in public PvP.
Weaknesses
Does not reduce damage from lava.
Can be countered by experienced players, although this is uncommon.
Verdict
One of the strongest defensive race abilities for PvP. It can completely deny most combos with minimal effort, and while experienced players can play around it, it remains extremely reliable in the vast majority of fights.
