— In-game description

Mechanics[edit]

  • If the damage of this skill would cause an enemy to enter downed state, they will instead be finished and defeated, thereby fully skipping the downed state.
  • This skill is available for up to 3 seconds following hitting an enemy with Uppercut.
    • If Uppercut does not hit, then Impact Strike's cooldown begins instead of Finishing Blow becoming available.

Notes[edit]

  • When using this skill to finish a downed enemy, the character will shout out one of the following lines, depending on race and gender. However, not all finishers will trigger the shout e.g. the Spectre Finisher for example works, while the Avatar of Death Finisher does not.
