The 'knockback' skill is used to knock back an opponent and get some breathing room between attacks. When sieged by many enemies, knockback can sometimes allow you to push back the entire crowd long enough to escape.

Knockback doesn't do much damage on its own - rather, the intent is to push enemies back temporarily. Being successful often relies on surprise, so you won't be able to knock back enemies repeatedly.
