The Ash of War: Kick is an Ash of War in Elden Ring that grants the Heavy affinity and the Kick skill. Players can grab it early, in Stormhill.
Kick pushes an enemy back with a simple high kick that costs no FP at all. It deals very little damage but an enormous amount of stamina damage to guarding enemies, breaking the guard of almost any foe. It cannot be parried and grants a little hyper armor while kicking. It suits any build that struggles against shield users, from Crucible Knights to players hiding behind greatshields.

Skill
Use it the moment an enemy raises a shield, then follow up with a heavy attack or critical hit while their guard is broken. The kick has short reach, so it needs to be used up close. Its damage barely scales with stats, so it is a utility tool rather than a damage skill.
Good With
| Weapons | Short Sword, Hammer, Whip, Dagger, Longsword |
|---|---|
| Affinity | Affinity matters little, since the kick scales only with the weapon's upgrade level, so the weapon's own build should decide. |
| Talismans | Shattered Stone Talisman, Shard of Alexander |
| Stats | Any |
Notes
- The kick costs no FP.
- The Divine Bird Warrior Greaves and the Shattered Stone Talisman boost kicking skills.
