Quake

Quake (クエイク Kueiku?) is a POW move used by Shield Pawns in Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood.

Description
When performing this attack, Shield Pawns will walk forward and begin jumping up and down, using their massive weight to create tremors. These tremors are capable of damaging all characters in the player’s party. It has a chance of inflicting the Sluggish status effect.

Quick time event
When the Quake is performed in gameplay, the player has to complete a series of real-time events by performing certain actions on the Touch Screen, in order to evade the Quake optimally. If done correctly, the attack will be nullified. For these actions, the player has to simply tap eight circles that will appear on various areas of the screen in succession when the outer circles overlap the inner circles.

Missing or not touching these circles correctly will increase the chances of the attack connecting.
