11Overview2233Force Palm Proficiency is a force palm skill in Crimson Desert, available to Kliff. It belongs to the Spirit (Green) branch of the skill tree.445566Skill Details7788DetailInfoCharacterKliffSkill TreeSpirit (Green)CategoryForce PalmCost10 SpiritControlsL3 or R3 after Force Palm / LS or RS after Force PalmHow to UnlockRequires Force Palm Lv 2.PrerequisitesForce Palm Lv 299Effect10101111Press L3 or R3 after Force Palm to perform up to two consecutive Force Palm strikes. This extends the base Force Palm combo, increasing total damage output per engagement.12121313Combat Tips14141515Force Palm Proficiency effectively doubles the damage of each Force Palm engagement. Always use the follow-up strikes when they are available, since the Spirit cost is the same whether you land one hit or two. This skill is essential for any build that focuses on the Force Palm tree.16161717See Also18181919For a full list of abilities, see the Skills page. Related topics: Combat System, Abyss Artifacts.20202121Follow-Up Timing22222323The follow-up strike is triggered by pressing L3 or R3 (the analog stick click) after the first Force Palm connects. There is a short window before Kliff returns to neutral; miss the window and the follow-up will not chain. Practice the rhythm against a training dummy or on patrols you can reset: press R2 for the first Force Palm, wait for the visible push wave to land, then click the stick to launch the second strike.24242525Each Force Palm in the chain costs Spirit independently, so a fully chained Proficiency combo costs 20 Spirit total rather than 10. The damage increase is noticeably greater than the extra Spirit cost, which is why the skill is considered an essential pickup for any Force Palm build.26262727Requirements28282929RequirementDetailCharacterKliffSkill TreeSpirit (Green) - Force Palm branchParent SkillForce Palm Level 2Cost per Strike10 Spirit per Force Palm in the chainControl InputL3 or R3 after Force Palm3030Force Palm Tiers31313232LevelUpgradeForce Palm Lv 1Base palm strike that emits a concussive pulseForce Palm Lv 2 (Proficiency)Up to two consecutive Force Palm strikesForce Palm Lv 3 (Expertise)Force Palm Expertise - advanced follow-ups and improved outputImbue Element Lv 1+Elemental Force Palm - imbues the palm wave with fire, frost, or lightning3333Related Skills34343535Force Palm - parent skill.Force Palm Expertise - the Lv 3 follow-up to Proficiency.Aerial Force Palm - airborne variant.Diving Force Palm - ground-pound variant.Force Palm Pulse - shockwave variant for area clear.Elemental Force Palm - add elemental damage to the pulse.36363737Related Articles38383939Kliff SkillsSkillsCombat SystemAbyss Artifacts
