Saint and Detonate Utility

[Skyros]

Good day! Any experienced Saint here (specially in Raids)?

I have a question about Detonate and it's utility in cancelling certain mechs. Anyone knows the mechs that Detonate can cancel?

Detonate takes a hefty amount of SP (9 SP) due to it's requisite skills. And skipping Detonate (if it doesn't have utility) helps in optimizing my skill tree. Thank you in advance!

A key one at the moment is Karahan's choke. If not by cancelling the mech allowing the player to escape, one is required to do a burst heal or shield right before he lands.

They can, but apparently awakened shatter (Elestra) cannot, mentioned by Hestilar Devantus (search youtube)

Well, I think getting Detonate utility is more valuable than getting Toughness then.

By right no char should be tanking stuff so it's a viable option too.
