Overview
Punch is a skill that every player starts off with and is the most basic attack.
The timing for the Action Command is about a second after the player's arm is raised. Succeeding the Action Command performs a 'Critical!' Hit doing a second punch for additional 
Damage.
Usage
Being the first skill that the player starts with, it is good for the early areas of the game and has no 
SP cost.
However, compared to other 0 SP cost skills, it starts to be less viable.
Basic Archery has the same exact parameters, except with 1 extra non-critical Damage and 
1 Defense Piercing.
Slap deals less damage on a 'Critical!' hit, but has the ability to 
Stun enemies.
Tough Vine Trap has the same overall Damage, but can make enemies 
Stuck.
When enemies start to gain Defense, Punch loses a lot of viability and will start to do no Damage at 2 Defense, even on a 'Critical!', unless the player has a 
Power buff or increased overall Power.
As the starting skill, it is overshadowed by better 0 SP cost alternatives, and should be avoided once the player acquires those alternatives.
