Press R2 (after Forward Slash) | |
Prerequisite | Forward Slash Lv 2 or observe in action |
Press R2 to lunge forward and follow up with a finishing slash. After executing a Forward Slash, pressing R2 extends the combo with an additional lunging strike that closes distance and deals extra damage. The finishing slash has slightly more range than the base attack, making it effective for catching enemies that try to back away.
Forward Slash Proficiency is an inner skill that unlocks when Forward Slash reaches Level 2. It can also be learned through the "Watch and Learn" mechanic by observing the skill in combat. Forward Slash itself is one of Kliff's starting skills.
The finishing slash from Forward Slash Proficiency extends the effective range of your melee attacks, making it good for punishing enemies that try to create distance.
Input R2 immediately after the initial Forward Slash for a smooth combo transition.
This skill works well as a gap-closer in situations where Rush or Charge are not available.
