 * Hurricane?: The chances of the enemy being blown away from the battlefield with Lakilester's Hurricane. If the player fills the bar to 100%, any enemies not immune to Hurricane are guaranteed to blow away.
 * Kalmar's Up and Away functions like Hurricane -- any enemies immune to Hurricane will also be immune to this move. Up and Away has near perfect accuracy against anything not immune to it, however, and thus is not listed in the chart.

With multiple enemies on the field, the amount of button presses for a guaranteed flee is the average of all enemies' run rates.
