How to make knockback less laggy?

So I have this code on the server when a hit is made it uses a module I have called EffectService (ES) to run my knockback effect

if game.Players:FindFirstChild(Target.Name) then --it's a player so fire to their client
	--FireCharacter gets the plyer from the character
	ES:FireCharacter(Target,"DefaultEffect","Knockback",Target,Player)
else --it's an an npc fire to players client
	ES:FireClient(Player,"DefaultEffect","Knockback",Target,Player)
end

Effect.Knockback = function(Target,Attacker)
	local PlayerLookVec = Attacker.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.LookVector

	local BV = Instance.new("BodyVelocity")
	BV.Name = "Knockback"
	BV.MaxForce = Vector3.new(1,1,1)*5000000
	BV.Velocity = Vector3.new(PlayerLookVec*50,20,0)
	BV.Parent = Target.HumanoidRootPart
	game.Debris:AddItem(BV,0.1)
end

And this works, however, the knockback is laggy on the attackers screen (the person not receiving the knockback) and I wanted to know what I could do to reduce the lag or if there’s a better method.

I’ve had the same problem for a while now, I did my research and saw a lot of posts similar to this one but I have yet to find a definitive solution. I gave up a while ago but now I’m trying again cause it’s lowkey kinda concerning, I’ll let you know if I find an answer

Hi @Vibricks do you have a solution for less laggy?

Nah i pretty much just ended up accepting the fact that it’s just roblox jank and not much we can do about it. Stuff like this is the reason i’m slowly straying away from any super fleshed out pvp game on this platform

I disagree. It was done on The Strongest Battlegrounds. It’s possible.
