Quake is a threshold Strength ability. It requires level 37 Strength to use. Upon a successful hit, the player deals 43.8-219% ability damage to their main target, and 37.6-188% ability damage to a maximum of eight secondary targets within a 3x3 area around the player, drains the Defence level of all targets by 5%, and applies a debuff that increases their affinity by 2 for 1 minute. It will not drain a target's Defence level if it is equal to or below 90%, but will always apply the affinity debuff.

Halberds will increase the area of this ability to 5x5 squares.
