Forceful Knockback follows the same rules as Knockback. In addition:
- The rules text, 'Double distance', means that the radius of the sector representing scope is twice as long.
- The rules text, 'in any direction', changes Forceful Knockback's scope from a sector to a circle.
- Unlike Knockback, Forceful Knockback is capable of passing through objects (soft collision).
- Forceful Knockback only deals double impact damage when bouncing off objects (hard collision); it deals [50% Offense] damage on soft collision.
- At most, soft collisions can only deal [50% Offense] damage, even if the target passes through several objects.
- On soft collision, Forceful Knockback's direction ends with an empty starburst; on hard collision, the starburst is filled with a dot.
- There are objects that Forceful Knockback can break, but cannot pass through.
