Low Health Melee is a learnable Survivor skill in Horizon Forbidden West.

Use

This skill increases melee attack damage when Aloy reaches certain HP thresholds. Similar to Low Health Ranged, as the skill is upgraded, the HP activation threshold will increase. While this does not affect skills such as Silent Strike and Critical Strike, all other forms of melee damage benefit from the damage increase.

Level	Cost	Melee Damage Increase	HP Activation Threshold
1	2	+15%	< 30%
2	3	+30%	< 35%
3	N/A	+60%	< 40%
4	N/A	+100%	< 50%

Boosts

This skill can be boosted with the Oseram Vanguard, Tenakth High Marshal, Tenakth Marshal, and Tenakth Vanquisher outfits. Upgrading the Carja Behemoth Elite and Oseram Arrow Breaker to level 3 provides a +1 and +2 weave, respectively, that can be slotted into any outfit.

Consuming Brew Battered Wedges boosts the skill by 3 levels.
