Tsb Burst Activation Breakdown: Exact Button Inputs Across Pc, Mobile, and Console
By Marcus Vance
Q1: Does activating burst consume my entire Awakening meter?
Yes. Using burst as an evasive combo breaker burns 100% of your accumulated Awakening gauge. You will not get an offensive Awakening sequence, and your meter resets completely to zero.
Q2: Can I burst while blocking an incoming barrage?
No. Burst is purely a defensive breakout mechanic designed for hitstun and ragdoll states. If you are blocking normally, pressing your Awakening bind triggers your standard ultimate activation sequence rather than a defensive shockwave.
Q3: Why did my opponent not get knocked back when I activated burst?
Some high-tier abilities grant hyper-armor or iframe states. If an opponent was mid-animation on an armor-protected move when your burst triggered, they will absorb the kinetic wave without being pushed back, though your own hitstun will still be cleared.
