Assassin’s Creed Shadows Is Bringing Back The Best Attack In The Franchise

by

In some of the latest Assassin’s Creed games, one standout attack draws inspiration from the movie “300,” a powerful kick to the chest. This move is set to reappear in Assassin’s Creed Shadows, as demonstrated by Ubisoft on their social media platforms. The video showcased how the character Yasuke can employ this move to interrupt enemy attacks.

As previously stated, the “War Kick” appears to be influenced by Zack Snyder’s film 300, particularly its powerful finishing move, and as a tribute to the original work, the company prepared an appropriate reply when prompted by a comment about Spartans:

In the preceding Assassin’s Creed titles, namely Odyssey and Valhalla, we encountered an attack known as the Spartan Kick/Kick of Tyr. This move has proved invaluable, particularly during battles near steep cliffs or high structures, offering a lifesaving option.

In one instance, Yasuke impales his foe through the chest, amputates both arms, and finally ends their life with a swift beheading. Ubisoft has shared additional information about how players can customize their playstyles using the game’s Mastery and Knowledge skill-trees.
