Finestrike — Bloodborne

Finestrike — Blood gems, Bloodborne. Take advantage of windows while the target attacks or recovers from an attack.

Finestrike

The condition to recognise

This bonus activates on a counterattack: hit the enemy during its attack or immediately afterwards, during recovery. A target that is merely standing still is not necessarily vulnerable to this effect.

Value and availability

EffectTable value
Attack against an open foe+0,4 % à +13,5 %

Choose your moves

Look for range and speed that let you hit during the opponent's window. This effect normally appears as a secondary effect; the wiki notes a dedicated radial in the expansion. You therefore need to compare the gem's primary effect too.

Gem effects and acquisition

Hit the target during that window; a target that is merely standing still is not necessarily open.
