How to do enhanced final blow?

[iLiberate]

I have a training to finish a Y combo with an enhanced final blow using twin pikes. I keep doing the move, but I don’t know how to make it an ‘enhanced final blow’.

You press the strong attack button right before unleashing the final hit of the combo. You'll know you did it right if you see a blueish shockwave appear.

Do I have to do it on an enemy?

That is a misleading description. Its not right before unleashing the final hit. It is THE moment the final hit deals the damage. In that moment you press heavy again and it becomes enhanced. You don't have to hit anything for an enhanced final blow to happen you can practice it anywhere.

nope. gotta give it to the dev for being merciful with this mission.

do not hold Y.

it depends on the timing, when you have this round glowy aura on you, you have to time when to press to do that BS enhanced final blow.

Can't say I agree. Doesn't work for me if I don't do it a little early.

There's nothing to disagree with here. It's frame data. I urge you to test it again yourself. If you press heavy anywhere earlier in the final swing animation which would be a couple 10th of seconds you do not get the enhanced final blow which is why it's important to be exact about it when explaining and "a little early" is simply not true.

More simply put the enhanced final blow happens With the button press. It does not follow the button press.

its before the hit lands. There's a white flash as you attack, similar to the white flash you get before a parry. you have to press it at that moment.
