How to Use Strike From Above Skill

Find a Vantage Point

Strike From Above works in a similar way to Silent Strike, except that it will activate once you're positioned on top of an elevated location. Before attacking a machine or hostile human target, find an elevated position where you can get the drop on them to take them down quickly.

Does Not Work Against Large Machines

While Strike From Above can deal high damage against small and medium machines, it will not work on large machines. The better approach is to use the vantage point to attack large machines, instead of trying to use stealth takedowns.
