25+Full Moveset Breakdown
26+ 
27+Patch 1.07.00 expanded the Oongka Fists tree well beyond the initial 1.06 release. Most attacks below are inherited from the existing Stab, Spinning Slash, Turning Slash, and Heavy Combo inputs but with new unarmed-only behaviors that activate when the Fists category is selected from the two-handed weapon slot. Some upgrades require the underlying skill (such as Stab) to be fully ranked before the unarmed variant becomes accessible.
28+ 
29+Selecting the Fists category disables Oongka's two-handed weapon for the duration. Many of the new moves chain into the regular Grappling tree, which is unaffected by the Fists selection and stays accessible at all times.

Invincibility frames during the animation make it usable as a counter or opener
40+Charge-Wave Turning Slash
41+ 
42+Holding the unarmed turning slash input now executes a charged forward motion. On release the move sends out a large shockwave attack with a wide forward sweep, then follows up with an enemy-launching ender. The wave is broader than the charged stab and useful as a mid-range crowd opener.
43+ 
44+Four-Strike and Pulse Heavy Combo
45+ 
46+The Gauntlet basic heavy attack combo has been reworked to flow as a more natural combo. Holding the heavy attack button near an enemy executes a four-strike chain that ends with a pulse attack launching the target.
47+ 
48+Axiom Force grapple after the pulse extends the combo into a winch loop.Turning slash into a chase into another pulse attack delivers a longer ender that re-launches the enemy for a second juggle.
49+ 
50+Aerial Stab
51+ 
52+Patch 1.07.00 added Aerial Stab to Oongka's unarmed kit. The skill sits at the end of the Stab upgrade chain. In mid-air, the same R1 plus Triangle input used by Kliff drops a downward stab. Aerial Stab can also be aimed upward for traversal, although Oongka's animation is bulkier than Kliff's lighter version.
53+ 
54+Explosive Strike Charge Phase
55+ 
56+Inside the unarmed kit, Explosive Strike now has up to three charge phases. After the cannon shot, holding the Triangle (Y on Xbox) input charges the explosion through each tier. Damage and blast radius scale exponentially with the charge level, at the cost of additional spirit per phase.
57+ 
58+Hidden Tech
59+ 
60+Jump-Cancel into Mid-Air Grapple. Pressing the jump button mid-combo transitions into an unlisted mid-air grapple grab that works on regular enemies and bosses.Triple Choke Slam. Build space, press the grapple input while sprinting toward an enemy, then hold the jump button during the animation to chain three slams in a row.Ambush Directional Influence. Inputting a movement direction during the ambush teleport changes the exit angle and lets Oongka attack in different directions or pick a different target.Grounded Enemy Hits. Most unarmed attacks and skills now successfully register on lying enemies, a fix that closed a long-running gap in the unarmed combo loop after a knockdown.Stab Dual-Wield Polish. Oongka's stab animation while dual-wielding was also tightened up in 1.07.
61+ 
62+Combos Into Flame Quake Imbu
63+ 
64+Many of the new chains end into the Flame Quake imbu skill, pressed by combining heavy attack and melee once the skill is unlocked in the tree. The Flame Quake hit produces a winch grapple prompt on connect, allowing the combo to be extended further.
