How to Use Heavy Slam

Aim Manually

At certain times, manually aiming Heavy Slam makes the difference between hitting or missing it. It also gives you control over the target area, allowing you to get a better initiation and maximize Heavy Slam's stun effect.

Use from Inside Grass

You can hide inside grass, then surprise your enemies using Heavy Slam. Since Heavy Slam is a Dash move, you can use it to leap over walls, giving you mobility to make clever plays like quickly scoring goals.

Escape or Chase Enemies
