InAssassin’s Creed Shadows, I come across an opportunity I can’t ignore.
An unsuspecting guard stands at a perilous high point, keeping watch for would-be intruders like me.
He soars majestically through the air to his doom, and I’m very pleased with myself.
Heck, I pretty much guffaw as he slams into the ground.
What can I say?
I love it when a plan comes together.
But it often serves as a great way to control the battlefield.
Surrounded by lots of enemies at once?
Kick ‘em out of the way and give yourself space to whittle down the group.
Got a particular pesky ronin getting too close for comfort with their katana?
A kick will put some distance between you and any threatening blade.
But the samurai isn’t the only one with an excellent leg-based ability.
Instead of the overpowered War Kick, Naoe has nimble shinobi-style Lightning Kicks.
I mean heck, I can even send heavy enemies soaring now.
