Flying Kick

Overview

Flying Kick is an Unarmed Combat skill in the Stamina Skill Tree, available to Kliff and Damiane. While in the air, you launch yourself at an enemy and deliver powerful kicks. The skill works identically for both characters, launching a powerful kick at the targeted enemy.

Skill Details

How to Unlock

Raise Unarmed Combat to Level 4 to unlock Flying Kick. Both Kliff and Damiane start with Unarmed Combat at Level 1 by default, so reaching Level 4 requires investing 3 Abyss Artifacts into the progression chain.

Unarmed Combat Progression

Both Kliff and Damiane follow the same Unarmed Combat skill tree:

Note: Oongka's Unarmed Combat tree differs slightly. His Level 1 skill is Low Dropkick instead of Leg Sweep, and he does not have Flying Kick at Level 4.

Combat Tips

Flying Kick is a strong aerial initiation tool. Jump first, then activate the skill to close distance quickly. It bridges the gap between you and an enemy without needing to run across open ground, where you would be vulnerable to ranged attacks.

Since it costs nothing to use, Flying Kick is a reliable gap-closer in extended fights. Unlike many other aerial attacks, there is no Spirit or Stamina cost, so you can use it as often as you can get airborne.

Flying Kick leads naturally into Meteor Kick at Unarmed Combat Level 5. If you enjoy aerial combat, investing one more Abyss Artifact after Flying Kick unlocks the pinnacle unarmed attack. Meteor Kick costs 10 Spirit but deals significantly more damage and can be further enhanced with Elemental Meteor Kick.
