What is Brain Crush

One-Hit Psionic Ability

Brain Crush is a type of attack that can eliminate enemies in one hit. These types of attacks can be initiated once the enemy's Crush Gauge has been depleted, and the Brain Crush prompt flashes above enemies.

Executing this maneuver will cause the use of your character's Psionics, pulling apart the glowing "brains" of enemies, effectively defeating them in one action.

How to Use Brain Crush

Deplete the Enemy's Crush Gauge

In order to activate Brain Crush, players will first need deplete the enemy's Crush Gauge, which can be found just beneath their Health Bar, by striking at an enemy's Weak Spots or by simply engaging enemies in melee combat. Weak Spots vary from enemy to enemy, requiring different strategies to reach.
