What are Glory Strikes?

Attack Prompts that Disables or Stuns Enemies

Glory Strikes are powerful attacks similar to Executions, sharing the same prompts and activation conditions. However, unlike Executions, they do not finish off the enemy. You will typically encounter Glory Strikes when attacking dazed, high-health or multi-phase foes like the Pinky Rider or Vagary.

Unlike Glory Kills from previous installments, these attacks are faster and feature more varied animations that depend on your weapon, angle of attack, and type of enemy you are fighting.
