Combat tip Updated Oct 9, 2026
CONTROL Resonant Switch Attack replaces your normal primary combo finisher with a secondary-weapon finish — morph the Aberrant mid-string instead of starting a new attack. Useful for mixing Falter, range, or crowd control from Crush / Extend / Drill into a melee combo.
Input
Primary → Primary → Primary → Secondary (not another primary). On PlayStation: three Square, then Triangle. The secondary tap is the finisher — do not complete the normal primary finisher first.
How to do a Switch Attack
- Unlock the Switch Attack upgrade on the secondary form you have equipped (Crush, Extend, or Drill each have their own).
- Land exactly three primary hits.
- Press secondary attack immediately (tap — Hammer Shift / Crush switch cannot be charged).
- Watch for the secondary Switch animation instead of the usual primary finisher.
Secondary Switch upgrades (reported)
- Crush — Hammer Shift — high Falter / knockdown; not chargeable
- Extend — Ritual Comeback — step-back wide hit
- Drill — Suppression — builds Weaken and knocks the target away
Switch Attack not working?
- Confirm the Switch skill is unlocked on the current secondary — a Switch talent on the primary tree is not enough
- Use exactly three primaries, then secondary — no dodge in between
- Don’t finish the normal primary finisher, then press secondary
- Tap secondary; holding for a charged Crush is a different move
- Dodge Attack upgrades can steal the input — test in The Gap Arena without dodging
