Effect
Press X + Square while performing a Scissor Kick or Tornado Kick to grab an enemy, spin them, and slam them down. This grappling follow-up turns kick attacks into devastating throws.
Combat Tips
Screwdriver is one of Damiane's highest-damage grappling techniques, but it requires precise timing during an active kick animation. Practice chaining Scissor Kick or Tornado Kick into Screwdriver for a reliable damage combo. The 60 Stamina cost is steep, so manage your Stamina bar carefully.

Grapple Chain
Screwdriver is triggered by pressing X + Square during the active frames of Scissor Kick or Tornado Kick. The window is tight because it is tied to the kick's contact frame, not its full animation. Practice the pattern on a weaker enemy first: kick, watch for the enemy's stagger, then immediately hit X + Square.
The spinning slam finishes with a hard knockdown, so there is no follow-up option baked into the move itself. Damiane recovers faster than the target, giving her a clean opening for a Smiting Bolt or a parting Evasive Smite.
