Striking Punch

"Punch ahead with your powerful fist, dealing DMG to enemies within a small area in front. Gain Fist Sensation with movement distance to increase the next Striking Punch DMG."

Striking Punch is Qian Sui's Secondary Skill. Using it strikes all enemies a small, short area directly in front of you, dealing 700 normal damage.

As you move around you will constantly build up stacks of Fist Sensation, which increases the damage of Striking Punch by 5% per stack. Each stack is gained for every meter traveled, and decays in 2 seconds independently of other stacks. The faster you move (such as by Dash), the more stacks can be gained at once.

Compared to Cleave it hits enemies in a narrower arc, but can deal much more damage per punch due to Fist Sensation.

While Tidal Aspis is active, weapons cannot be used and are instead replaced with Striking Punch. While holding down primary fire, punches will automatically be thrown repeatedly.
