1111 Press R1 + R2 while aiming to fire an arrow into the ground that propels Kliff skyward to evade enemy attacks. The arrow creates a small explosion on impact, and the upward momentum launches Kliff into the air where he can transition into aerial attacks or reposition. This combines evasion with offensive setup, providing a way to escape melee pressure while preparing for a counterattack from above.

2121 Learning From Samara
2222  
2323 Beyond the skill-tree unlock path, Explosive Evasive Shot can also be acquired through the Watch and Learn observation system by fighting Samara at her fortress in Demeniss. Samara uses Explosive Evasive Shot as part of her ranged combat kit during the boss encounter, and a successful observation of her performing the attack adds it to the player's Watch and Learn queue. Completing the observation awards the skill to the player once the queue entry is finalized. This is an alternative route for players who have not yet invested the prerequisite Evasive Shot rank 3 in their own skill tree.

2525 The Watch and Learn approach pairs cleanly with the Nature's Snare counter strategy that already trivializes the Samara encounter. Raise Nature's Snare to absorb her volleys while patiently observing the Explosive Evasive Shot tell, then commit to the kill after the observation finishes. This turns a single boss run into both a skill unlock and the standard reward drops without extending the fight duration beyond the observation window.
