Lash abilities
Ground Strike
Stomp the ground beneath you, damaging enemies in front of you. If you perform Ground Strike while airborne, you quickly dive towards the ground. Damage grows slower after 25m.
Grapple
Pull yourself through the air toward a target. Using Grapple also resets your limit of air jumps and dashes.
Flog
Strike enemies in front of you with your whip, healing for a portion of the damage dealt.
Death Slam
Focus on enemies to connect whips to them. After channeling, connected enemies are lifted and stunned then slammed into the ground. Your victims and any enemies in the landing zone will be damaged and slowed. Press to throw connected enemies early. Enemies that are not in line of sight or go out of range during the latch time will not be grabbed.

How to play Lash
Lash gives his enemies little room to breathe, either by flying in from long distances to initiate combat with unsuspecting enemies, or pursuing said enemies when they try to run.
Winning Lash players open with Mystic Burst and Headshot Booster, spike in the mid game with Improved Spirit and Extra Stamina and close it out with Greater Expansion or Boundless Spirit.
Lash game plan
A diver who arrives from the sky and leaves with the enemy’s carry.
How to beat Lash
- Stay under overhead cover; Lash needs a clear line to grapple.
- Break line of sight during the Death Slam channel to avoid being connected.
- Stun him mid-air; he has few escapes once committed.
Respect Death Slam. Punish after Grapple.
