How do i do a clutch claw attack immediatly after an attack?
i have seen lots of people suddenly use their clutch claw without aiming and quickly doing attacks and dealing lots of damage that way but i have no idea how to do it.
I have the iceborne dlc and know that i can use the clutch claw without sheathing my weapon.
I am using dual blades and a ps4 controller.

Depends on the weapon, and only from specific attacks. For dual blades, you can perform one by (assuming the presses are in the same spot as a xbox controller) pressing circle, circle, circle, L2, triangle.

And for SnS, its roll R2 iirc.
I don't remember for hammer, but I do remember it had sumthing to do with a spin
My cousin who uses greatsword with mouse and keyboard also does not know how to use this attack although i'm assuming you can't do it with greatsword.

For dual blades, go into demon mode then it should be:

B B B LT Y
On Xbox controller, I believe.
(O O O L2 Tri)
Basically 3 spins then claw then basic attack.

Greatsword has no quick clutch attacks. Not all weapons have one.

For hammer you do it off the leaping spin attack. which is your mount attack if you don't get the mount but you are still facing the monster you can hit the claw button once you land to clutch onto the monster which will also continue the spin attack if you have your hammer charged.

You can also do it after a lvl 3 slam. Keep in mind you have to stand still to perform the slam instead of the spin.

Since we are going down the list, Lance has a clutch counter. You go into a counter stance, and if something hits your shield, it activates.

I'm just surprised and didn't know this one. Does this let you tenderize when you latch + attack like the SnS claw uppercut + attack?
