Power Slide
| Power Slide | |
|---|---|
| Class | Reflexes Perk |
| Attribute | Reflexes |
| Tier | Rookie (4) |
| Levels | 1 |
| Requires | Slippery |
Power Slide makes V's slide cover more ground. A longer slide crosses more of a room in one move, which is both a faster approach and a longer stretch of the movement protection the Reflexes tree runs on. It is an early pick in that tree. Builds that fight at a sprint take it without thinking.
Effect
The slide is already the fastest move V has on foot. Extending it means a single input can cross a doorway, break a line of sight or close on an enemy with a blade.
Because speed is what makes V hard to hit, a longer slide is also a longer period of safety. The move does the work of cover without needing any.
How to Unlock Power Slide
It sits behind the Rookie gate of the Reflexes tree and is bought from Slippery.
Perk Tree
Power Slide is bought from Slippery in the Reflexes tree.
| Name | Image | Tier | Effect |
|---|---|---|---|
| Slippery | Rookie (4) | The faster you move, the more difficult for enemies to shoot you. Effect increases when Dashing, dodging, sliding, sprinting and vaulting. |
Character Builds
It suits a Reflexes build that opens fights by crossing the room, which a katana build has to and a submachine gun build wants to.
Buy it at the Rookie gate with Parkour!, and pair it with Multitasker so the slide can carry fire. Dash at the Pro gate covers shorter distances with better protection, so the two end up serving different ranges rather than replacing each other.
Notes
Multitasker allows shooting mid slide, which is what turns the move into an attack rather than a retreat.
Dash higher in the tree replaces dodging with a longer move of its own, and the two serve different ranges.
