L3 or R3 after Force Palm / LS or RS after Force Palm | |
How to Unlock | Requires Force Palm Lv 2. |
Prerequisites | Force Palm Lv 2 |
Press 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.
Force 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.
For a full list of abilities, see the Skills page. Related topics: Combat System, Abyss Artifacts.
The 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.
Each 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.
