Wesker Abilities

Mayhem Mode: Melee Combo

Activating Wesker's Mayhem mode allows you to simulatanously use your Melee combo. This is an awesome Mayhem ability because you will be devastating, swift, and, not to mention, extremely cool when using it.

When to Use Wesker's Mayhem Mode

It's best to use Wesker's Mayhem mode whenever you're surrounded by groups of enemies or when facing elite mobs. Note that this is a bit ineffective against enemies wearing armor, especially elites like the Armored Garrador.

How to Use Mayhem Mode

Melee: Counterattack

Wesker's unique ability is his counterattack. This will allow you to parry incoming attacks and deliver a strong melee hit, even against elite monsters. Click L1 on the Controller or Space on the Keyboard to activate the ability.
