Aerial Slash/Jump-Off is a learnable Warrior skill in Horizon Forbidden West.

Use

This skill allows Aloy to use Aerial Slash and Jump-Off.

Aerial Slash is a rising attack where Aloy quickly leaps upwards, allowing her to do a quick draw with her bow and deal an extra 20% Impact damage when fired midair. Alternatively, she can execute a midair heavy attack (R2) to slam down and stagger the target.

Jump-Off allows Aloy to reposition and gain distance off enemies while dealing damage midair. Both versions will also provide a 20% Impact damage bonus when firing midair. Jumping over human enemies staggers them briefly, but this does not apply to machines.

	Input	Base Damage	Quick Draw Modifier
Jump-Off	R1 - Hold R2	17	20%
Jump-Over	R1 - Tilt left stick forward - Hold R2	17
Aerial Slash	R1 - R2	29

Trivia

• Grab attacks from Archer class humans (e.g. Rebel Sharpshooters) use the Jump-Off.
