Revision 3

Overview

Skewering Stab is a combat skill in Crimson Desert, available to Kliff. It belongs to the Stamina (Blue) branch of the skill tree.

Skill Details

Effect

Move after a successful charged Stab to immediately grapple the enemy. When Kliff lands a fully charged Stab attack, pushing the movement stick transitions seamlessly into a grapple hold on the impaled target. This creates a direct link between Kliff's Stab and Grappling skill trees, allowing melee-to-grapple combo transitions. The ongoing Stamina drain of 20 per second means players should act quickly once the grapple starts.

How to Acquire

Skewering Stab is unlocked when the Stab skill reaches Level 2. Stab is one of Kliff's starting skills, so only a single Abyss Artifact investment beyond the base level is needed to unlock this inner skill.

Tips

• Skewering Stab creates a seamless Stab-to-Grapple combo. Follow up with Throw or Lariat to deal additional damage after the grapple.

• The 20 Stamina/sec drain means you should have a plan for the grapple follow-up before initiating. Do not hold the grapple longer than necessary.

• Use charged Stab against staggered enemies to guarantee the hit and immediately transition into the grapple for a devastating combo.
