Pounce

Pounce
Class	Cool Perk
Attribute	Cool
Tier	Phenom (15)
Levels	1
Requires	Finisher: Act Of Mercy
Affects	Only affects throwable weapons

Pounce lets V finish an enemy from a distance. Hitting someone with a thrown weapon extends the range at which a finisher can be started, and each throw that lands makes them easier to catch with one. It sits in the throwable weapon branch of the Cool tree. The knife does the approach so V does not have to.

Effect

---

A finisher normally has to begin within arm's reach, which for a build that fights by throwing is the wrong distance entirely.

This perk reaches across that gap. A blade in the target is both damage and an invitation, and the more of them that land the more susceptible the enemy becomes.

How to Unlock Pounce

---

It sits behind the Phenom gate of the Cool tree. Finisher: Act Of Mercy is bought first, since that is the finisher this perk extends.

Perk Tree

---

Pounce is bought from Finisher: Act Of Mercy in the Cool tree.

Finisher: Act Of Mercy		Phenom (15)	Unlocks a Throwable Weapon Finisher. Can be used on low enemy Health. Automatically activates Juggler. Restores 25% Health.

Character Builds

---

It belongs to a throwing build that wants to finish from range rather than closing the distance, which is the whole point of fighting with blades thrown.

Buy it at the Phenom gate once Finisher: Act Of Mercy is in place. Each throw that lands makes the enemy easier to catch, so the build's ordinary attacks are also the setup, and Going The Distance in the Reflexes tree does the same job for a blade held in hand.

Notes

---

That finisher heals V and resets the throwing cooldowns, so reaching it from further away is worth a great deal.

Going The Distance in the Reflexes tree does the same for a blade finisher at close range.
