Screwdriver is an advanced grappling technique for Damiane that chains from a Scissor Kick or Tornado Kick into a spinning grapple slam. While performing either of those kicks, pressing Triangle + Circle causes Damiane to grab the enemy mid-kick, spin them around, and slam them into the ground. The spinning motion deals damage and the slam creates a small area-of-effect impact.
This skill sits at Level 3 of the Grappling skill progression. The full Grappling chain advances through: Throw and Restrain at Level 1, Lariat at Level 2, Screwdriver at Level 3, Back Hang at Level 4, and Aerial Grapple at Level 5.
Level | Skill | Description |
|---|---|---|
1 | Throw, Restrain | Basic grab and hold maneuvers |
2 | Lariat | Running clothesline attack |
3 | Screwdriver | Spinning grapple slam from kicks |
4 | Back Hang | Mount an enemy's back |
5 | Aerial Grapple | Slam airborne enemies to ground |
The Scissor Kick or Tornado Kick must connect with an enemy for the Screwdriver transition to activate.
Screwdriver is a Stamina-intensive skill. Manage Stamina carefully when chaining multiple grapple moves in succession.
The slam at the end of Screwdriver can hit nearby enemies caught in the impact radius, making it useful against groups.
Practice using Screwdriver against weaker enemies before relying on it in boss fights.
Keep an eye on your Stamina bar when using this skill repeatedly.
