How to Perform Takedowns
Fill the Stagger Bar
Takedowns can be performed after filling the Stagger Bar, located above the enemy's health. The bar can be filled by continuously landing hits on the enemy, and will gradually deplete if the enemy has not taken damage after some time.
Press the Prompt in Staggered State
After filling the bar, the enemy will enter the Staggered state, wherein they are rendered incapacitated and will receive bonus damage. During this state, pressing the button prompt will perform a takedown, consequently dealing a substantial amount of damage.
Note that the Staggered state is temporary and is dispelled after a duration. The stagger bar will blink and drain slowly during the state, returning the enemy to normal when empty.
