It is worth noting that Disruptive Wave acts slightly different in this installment as it now only affects the opposition. This makes debuffs viable against many bosses since they can't use the ability to clear them away. This isn't used as heavily by the story bosses (only [[King Godwyn]] and [[Corvus]] uses it). However, several of the grotto bosses and ''all'' the [[legacy boss]]es will use this ability. | It is worth noting that Disruptive Wave acts slightly different in this installment as it now only affects the opposition.
