How to Knock Down Enemies in Forspoken
The only efficient way of knocking down enemies in Forspoken involves utilizing certain abilities. However, even with the right abilities, this won’t be fully consistent.
Occasionally, either enemies will be too weak and die before being knocked down, or they’ll be too strong to get consistently affected by the used skill.
In any case, persistence will be key. When dealing with tougher enemies, keep trying until you succeed. If you want to try your luck on smaller enemies instead, consider increasing the game’s difficulty so they won’t die in one shot.
Also, before moving on to abilities, one of the best tips is to pain your nails. Specifically, consider using the Fatale nail design, which makes it easier to knock down enemies based on the number of spells you know.
To obtain the Fatale nails, players will need to defeat the Gigas Abomination in the Mount Garrison area in Praenost.
Best Abilities to Knock Down Enemies in Forspoken
With the knockdown mechanic explained, let’s examine some of the best abilities to knock down enemies in Forspoken.
- Arc Slice (Red Magic) – Arc slice deals a 360° attack that deals fire damage. Additionally, when cast in midair, it knocks back nearby enemies.
- Shield Shot (Purple Magic) – Shield Shot summons a shield in front of Frey. When charged, it deals damage and knocks back any nearby enemies.
- Prime (Purple Magic) – Prime places a proximity mine at the location of the player. This mine will explode when enemies come nearby, deal damage, and knock them back. However, the knockback effect is fairly small, so it’s recommended for weaker enemies.
Keep in mind that upgrading these skills increases their effectiveness and makes knocking down stronger foes even easier.
Wrapping up
To summarize, that’s everything you need to know on how to knock down enemies in Forspoken.
