Effect

AoE counterattack with high damage and Stagger Buildup

Gavel Bash is the devastating counterattack triggered by the Sword of Justice’s Special Ability, Guard, in 33 Immortals. When a player is struck while Guard is active, Gavel Bash automatically activates — consuming stored Justice to unleash a massive area-of-effect strike that deals heavy damage and applies significant Stagger Buildup.

Overview

Gavel Bash rewards timing and positioning. It turns defense into offense, allowing tanks to punish enemies for attacking while shielded. The size, damage, and stagger power of the counterattack scale with the amount of Justice stored at the time of activation.

How It Works

• Requires Guard to be active
• Automatically triggers when the player is hit during Guard
• Consumes stored Justice to scale the explosion’s strength
• Applies large Stagger Buildup in a radius
• Can hit multiple enemies at once
• Does not trigger if Guard is active but the player isn’t struck

Key Traits

• High damage AoE counterattack
• Disrupts elite enemies and mini-bosses with stagger
• Can clear surrounding mobs instantly when timed well
• Works as both a defensive and offensive tool
• Synergizes with Vitality- and Justice-focused builds

Strategy

• Activate Guard before an incoming heavy hit to bait the trigger
• Position yourself near multiple enemies to maximize AoE impact
• Pair with Co-op Powers like Bubble Shield to stack protection
• Use just before boss AoEs or charge attacks to counter with maximum Justice
• Stack Relics that boost Stagger or Justice regeneration

Mastery Synergy

• Final Justice – Triggers Gavel Bash automatically on Charge Attack
• Shockwave – Additional AoE damage when Justice is over 50%
• Inner Justice – Passive Justice regeneration for more frequent Guard and Gavel Bash

Visual Indicator

• When Guard is hit, a radiant shockwave explodes outward from the player
• The explosion size increases with stored Justice
• A booming sound effect signifies activation

Summary

Gavel Bash is the divine hammer of vengeance in *33 Immortals*. A guardian’s silent warning becomes a thunderous blow, delivering justice not just as defense — but as retribution. For those who stand firm, this counterstrike turns shields into wrath.
