The name of this ability so far is a placeholder. As demonstrated, the zip-kick though useful against other foes, does nothing against mageknights up front due to their specialized shields. The solution is to use this move, which may just be a fun trick to use anyway against others.
Fun fact, this was the first diagram I made in this series of them. You'll notice by the lack of consistency in my sloppy early work.

Drachma Brimston belongs to me.
