How to Repulse
Do It When Enemy Emits A Purple Light
| Command Input | Tilt Down  +  |
|---|
You can do a Repulse by tilting down the left analog stick and pressing the circle button at the same time when the enemy begins emitting a purple light.
When the enemy does emit the purple light, it's an indication that they will perform a powerful attack that cannot be avoided, or blocked normally. So it is important that you attack it first with a Repulse before anything else.
Repulse Tips
Wait for Eve's Weapon to Turn Purple
| Correct Timing for Repulse | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Enemy Emits Purple Light | ▶ | Weapon Glows Purple | ▶ | Repulse! |
The correct way to successfully perform a Repulse is by waiting for the enemy to emit a glowing purple light and then waiting for Eve's weapon to glow purple as well before doing the command input for Repulse. Once timed accurately, a Repulse will inflict fatal damage to the enemy.
On the other hand, if you have missed the timing and hit the enemy immediately when it emitted the light without waiting for the weapon to turn purple, the attack will fail.
Unlock Threat Detection Skill
In the Skill Tree, next to Blink, is the Threat Detection Skill. Unlocking this skill will prove useful in successfully landing Repulse attacks as it will extend the timing for the skill.
Repulse Restrictions
Fails if the Stick Input is Wrong
| Repulse | Tilt Down + |
|---|---|
| Blink | Tilt Up + |
The input for Repulse is closely related to the input for Blink. Since Repulse is sort of a QTE or a Quick Time Event button, failure to tilt the left stick in the correct direction or even timing the skill incorrectly will make the attack unsuccessful.
If done incorrectly, you will receive enemy damage.
Can Only Be Activated When Enemy Emits Purple Light
Repulse cannot be activated normally in combat as it is only restricted to be used during an enemy's powerful attack, hence, the purple light.
It cannot be used to avoid normal attacks, but worry not as you can still avoid these enemy attacks with skills like Perfect Dodge and Perfect Parry.

Repulse Availability
Unlock It at the Skill Tree
Repulse can be unlocked as early as you get to your first Supply Camp, just be sure that you select this skill when choosing which skills you want to be unlocked first.
After acquiring it, you can practice doing it in the training room and familiarize yourself with it as soon as possible.
