Fatal Strikes in Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty

In Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty, Fatal Strikes can be categorized into two kinds, one during combat as well as one against an unaware enemy, and we will go through just what you’ll need to do to achieve both with a greater degree of success.

Fatal Strikes Against an Unaware Enemy in Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty

This is the best way to start off a battle, especially against multiple enemies and when you’re out of ranged options. The key aspect to this is to avoid being noticed by the enemy, either by coming from the back or side, or from above.

The easiest method is the latter, where you can simply jump and press either Triangle or Y to execute a Fatal Strike. Make sure you’re always looking for ways to get above your targets, and make use of structures to climb up high. Do note that Fatal Strikes from above tend to do less damage.

As for the other methods, the key is to master the timing and close the distance quickly to your target. Targets that patrol will go on a set route, turning their backs at one point to make it easy for you to sneak up to them. However, instead of just slightly pushing in on the stick to move slowly, do it and press jump at the same time.

The enemy is quite oblivious to a jumping hero behind them, and this makes it extremely easy to get near them and execute a powerful Fatal Strike. Just be sure not to break any objects on your way there, or they will become wise to your presence.
