Water Body is the
Shark race's V3 ability, unlocked from
Arowe. Quickly activable with the [T] key (top of the d-pad on console), it boosts your defense by 70% for 5 seconds and blocks enemy combos for you.
How to get it
Unlock the Shark race's V3 from Arowe. The ability is only usable if you're playing the Shark race.
How it works
- Upon activation, you release small sharks; a blue and black aura resembling lightning surrounds you, with a water cross on your chest and a blue heart on the left side of your chest.
- Water Body reduces all incoming attack damage by 70%.
- The effect lasts 5 seconds according to the source page (4.5 seconds before Update 29.2), with a 34.5-second cooldown according to that same page (it listed 30 seconds until August 2026, with no patch note for that change).
Strengths and weaknesses
- Ruins virtually any enemy attack or combo
- Requires no special timing or skill - most players activate it as soon as they're hit by a stun attack (like Pole 2nd Form)
- Many bounty hunters simply don't know how to counter it
- Does not reduce lava damage
- Can be countered, though it's rare
