Double Edge. Break stuns and summon a jade shield that applies barrier to yourself. You may activate the skill while it is recharging, with a chance for the skill to backfire. The chance of the skill backfiring lowers as the skill recharges, and the skill cannot backfire when the skill is completely recharged.
