1515 Quick Grab is a defensive counter skill that allows Oongka to grapple an enemy just before their attack connects. Instead of taking damage, Oongka intercepts the incoming strike by grabbing the attacker, turning their offensive momentum against them. The timing window requires pressing Triangle + Circle (Y + B) just before the enemy's attack hits.

1717 This skill is Oongka's equivalent of Kliff's Dodge, providing a defensive option that also creates offensive opportunities. After a successful Quick Grab, Oongka can follow up with grappling attacks to capitalize on the intercepted enemy's vulnerable state.

1919 Quick Grab functions as Oongka's equivalent of a parry. The timing window is slightly tighter than Dodge, but the reward is greater because Oongka immediately transitions into a grapple that sets up follow-up attacks like Lariat or a throw. Practice the timing against slow-attacking enemies like bandits in Greymane Camp before relying on it against bosses.
