Stomp the ground beneath you, damaging enemies in front of you. If you perform Ground Strike while airborne, you quickly dive towards the ground. Damage grows slower after 25m.
Pull yourself through the air toward a target. Using Grapple also resets your limit of air jumps and dashes.
Strike enemies in front of you with your whip, healing for a portion of the damage dealt.
Focus on enemies to connect whips to them. After channeling, connected enemies are lifted and stunned then slammed into the ground. Your victims and any enemies in the landing zone will be damaged and slowed. Press to throw connected enemies early. Enemies that are not in line of sight or go out of range during the latch time will not be grabbed.
Numbers match the abilities above: each box is one ability point, left to right. This exact order wins 58.3% of 8,076 games. Ground Strike is maxed first in 77% of common orders.
