	Another, perhaps a bit more dangerous, tactic I like to use early game, is to use your weapon splash to your advantage, if you have your main target coming after you, and they are close to death, I position myself close to another target, and attack them just at the right time so the splash damage can hit your main target, finishing them off with an N+1 while simultaneously starting your assault against your new main target.

	[[Assault Slash]] is an easy knockback follower, just be careful if you use right after Windmill, you'll bounce the target, you can avoid this, based on our explanation of stability, by waiting for the enemy stability to recover enough, the timing is pretty simple, use Assault Slash during the later part of the Windmill animation, as your character finishes standing up.

	In the gif to the left, you can see all of these states occur, on the 3rd hit, stability goes below 0 at which point the enemy is knocked ~~down (in this case it is knocked down because of a critical hit, otherwise it would have been a knock~~ back, ~~but things would've worked out the same either way)~~ the 4th hit is again putting the enemy below 0 stability, but since the enemy is already in a knockback state, it goes to the next state, "Bounced", at which point you can see it bounce in place, instead of getting knocked back further. Finally, the 5th hit, doing yet again stability damage while the enemy is in this bounced state, will go to the "Resisted" state, in which it will resist the knockback and get back up immediately, and in this case, charging towards the player.

	These knockback states are important to understand as seen in the gif, as using attacks such as ranged, or magic, (or any combination of attacks from multiple players during party play) can easily cause a Resisted state, putting you, or a party member, in immediate danger.
