Affects	Only affects Blunt Weapons

Finisher: Savage Sling is the blunt weapon finisher of the Body tree. A wounded enemy can be killed outright, which returns a fifth of V's health, or picked up and thrown into the others. It sits at the very top of the blunt weapon branch. It is the move the whole branch has been building towards.

Effect

The finisher is available when an enemy's health is low, and a stunned enemy is easier to catch with it. Landing it heals V, which makes it a way to recover as well as a way to kill.

Holding the button changes the ending. Instead of a finishing blow the enemy is thrown, and they damage whatever they land among, so one body clears a little of the room on the way down.

How to Unlock Finisher: Savage Sling

It sits behind the Legend gate of the Body tree, which takes almost everything V has to spend on one attribute. Quake must be fully bought first.

Perk Tree

Finisher: Savage Sling is bought from Quake in the Body tree.

Name	Image	Tier	Effect
Quake		Phenom (15)	-15% Stamina cost for attacks with Blunt Weapons.

Character Builds

The build is a blunt weapon Body build that has spent nearly everything on the attribute. A hammer is the weapon, Clapback below should already be stunning enemies with counterattacks, and Quake should be fully bought.

Buy it as the Legend gate opens. The health it returns is what makes a melee build able to finish a long fight, and throwing the body instead is how it clears the space around itself. Nothing in the tree is bought from it, so it is an end rather than a step.

Notes

Clapback lower in the branch makes counterattacks stun, and stunned enemies are the ones this finisher catches most easily.

Blunt weapons are what it applies to, and the Body attribute is what improves them.
