Body Slam can be unlocked by spending 1 Abyss Artifact in the Stamina (Blue) skill tree under the Unarmed Combat category. Alternatively, it can be acquired through the Watch and Learn system by observing an enemy or NPC performing the move during combat. The Bonepit gladiator Muskan is a notable observation target for this skill, as he performs an enhanced version of Body Slam during fights in the arena.
While airborne, Body Slam causes the character to slam their full weight down onto the enemy below. The move delivers significant impact damage and can stagger or knock down the target on contact. Because it requires the user to already be in the air, Body Slam pairs naturally with jumping attacks or skills that launch the character upward.
The skill is available to all three playable characters once unlocked. It consumes Stamina on activation, so players should keep their Stamina reserves in mind before committing to the move.
Jump off elevated terrain and use Body Slam for a surprise attack on groups of enemies below.
Combine Body Slam with Double Jump to gain extra height before slamming down.
The stagger effect makes this skill useful for interrupting enemy attacks and creating openings for follow-up combos.
Use Body Slam to close distance when enemies try to create space during combat.
Observe Muskan at the Bonepit to learn an enhanced version that deals more damage than the standard tree variant.
Pump Kick: A powerful two-footed kick that sends enemies flying.
Dropkick: A forward double-kick for knocking enemies back.
Leaping Smash: Oongka's leap-and-slam weapon attack with area damage.
Double Jump: Provides extra airtime to set up Body Slam.
Watch for opportunities to learn this skill by observing NPCs or enemies using it in combat.
Keep an eye on your Stamina bar when using this skill repeatedly; running out mid-combo leaves you vulnerable.
