How to Use Silent Strike Skill

Take Down Small Machines Instantly

The Silent Strike is a skill that can take down small machines with a single hit without alerting nearby enemies. This makes it very effective against machines like Watchers, which protect machine herds regularly.

Wear Down Larger Machines

While it cannot take down medium and large machines instantly, you can use Silent Strike to deal high damage before the fight begins. This gives you an early advantage, as the enemy's HP will already have taken a severe hit. Follow up with skills like Concentration to target enemy weak points for the best results.
