Going The Distance

Going The Distance

Class	Reflexes Perk
Attribute	Reflexes
Tier	Phenom (15)
Levels	1
Requires	Finisher: Bladerunner
Affects	Only affects Blades

Going The Distance doubles the range at which V can start a finisher. An enemy that would have needed one more step is now close enough. It is part of the blade branch of the Reflexes tree. It sounds minor and it changes how often the branch's best move is available.

Effect

A finisher has to begin within reach, and in a moving fight that reach is the thing most often missed. Doubling it means the move fires when the button is pressed rather than being swallowed by a half step.

In a crowd the extra range also means the next enemy is already inside it. The kill does not have to be walked to, which is what lets the finisher be used repeatedly.

How to Unlock Going The Distance

It sits behind the Phenom gate of the Reflexes tree and is bought from Finisher: Bladerunner.

Perk Tree

Going The Distance is bought from Finisher: Bladerunner in the Reflexes tree.

Name	Image	Tier	Effect
Finisher: Bladerunner		Phenom (15)	-15% Stamina cost attacks with Blades.

Character Builds

The build is a blade Reflexes build that uses its finisher as a core move rather than a flourish, which is how the branch is meant to play.

Buy it at the Phenom gate from Finisher: Bladerunner. Opportunist makes weakened enemies susceptible and this perk means they do not have to be walked to, so the two together are what make the finisher reliable in a moving fight.

Notes

Flash Of Steel speeds V up after a finisher, and this perk means the speed does not have to be spent closing distance.

Blades are the only weapons it applies to.
