Savage Hit

Overview

Savage Hit is one of 10 unique skills that can be learned from Frogidi's Fortunes.
Savage Hit has no alternative colors.

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, increasing the amount of Damage dealt by 1 and inflicting Stun.

Usage

Savage Hit deals a good amount of Damage to one enemy in addition to inflicting Stun for 2 turns and 1 Defense piercing.

Compared to the other 2 SP cost Frogidi's Fortunes skills: Dull Rapier and Barrage, Savage Hit is similar Damage to Dull Rapier, but much less total Damage than Barrage.

Savage Hit could be considered a "stronger" Slap in many ways, mainly with its longer Stun duration and superior Damage, but also has the Defense piercing. The only downside is that Savage Hit costs 2 SP, while Slap costs 0 SP.

The Stun of the Savage Hit makes it best used against enemies with dangerous skills, such as the Wraith's Evil Impact and Tangler's Vine Trap.

Against Corruption 1 enemies, the enemies will all have at least 1 Defense, making Savage Hit a viable skill for dealing Damage and also the bonus to Stun.

Against Corruption 2 and 3 enemies, the enemies will all be immune to Stun, making Savage Hit a less useful skill for the situation and is overshadowed by Dull Rapier in every way if the enemy is immune to Stun.

Overall, Savage Hit works best as a way to stall an enemy or to prevent a dangerous skill from being used.

Notes

• Savage Hit will not inflict Stun if no Damage was dealt or if the target has the Stun Guard status.
• Bosses and Corruption 2+ enemies immune to the Stun status.

Trivia

• Savage Hit can be used by Corruption 2+ Bandits, Burglars, and Tanglers.
• There is another "Savage" melee move, Savage Steal, which is exclusive to The Bandit King.
