M1Key

Heavy Kicks

The user uses their feet to deliver four hard kicks to the enemy. The damage can be amplified with V.

Req. MasteryLvl 1

Ken Dodged

ZKey

Rocket Kick

The user enters a stance and a whirlwind-like effect appears around the user. After releasing the move, the user dashes forward at high speed in the direction of the cursor, kicking back anyone in their way. If the user or the hit enemy makes contact with a surface, it will create an AoE dent in the surface and deals damage to anyone within it. This move can be held up to 1 second to dash further and faster.

Req. MasteryLvl 100

Cooldown7.5s

Breaks Instinct

XKey

Wind Bullet

The user pulls their left leg back and, upon releasing the move, kicks the air, creating a very fast wind bullet which explodes into an AoE wind blast upon contact with a solid surface or reaching its maximum distance, dealing damage and knocking back nearby enemies. The explosion deals 25% more damage than the projectile. This move is similar to that of Godhuman's [X] move, diverting in that it is faster, has less range, and can be dodged by Instinct.

Req. MasteryLvl 200

Cooldown10.5s

Breaks Instinct

CKey

Vermillion Drill

The user releases a barrage of kicks in a drill-like fashion towards their cursor, stunning anyone caught in the attack, and ends with a powerful downward axe kick if an enemy is caught in the barrage. The duration of this move will be increased if the key is held down. This move can be held for 3 seconds. If the user is on the ground, they will jump up upon starting this move.

Req. MasteryLvl 300

Cooldown16.5s

Breaks Instinct

VKey

Maximum Overheat

The user sets their legs on fire and creates a small explosion around their legs, damaging anyone near them. While active, this move increases Death Step's damage by ~15% for around 60 seconds. Additionally, all Death Step attacks leave fire on the ground that deals tick damage to enemies inside of it, lasting for 4 seconds.

Req. MasteryLvl 400
