How to perform a kick in Lords of The Fallen

To perform a kick, lock onto the target you want to attack, and press the left and right mouse buttons (L1 + R1) together on controller, or left shift + left click on mouse and keyboard. This will perform a kick move. Keep in mind that you still need to be close enough for the move to connect.

Kicks can be a good way to create a distance between you and an opponent, as the animation will give you a moment to reposition. Where they particularly shine though is near ledges or high places. If you can secure a good kick here, you can knock enemies from ledges, knocking them down to whatever’s below. In many cases the fall damage, or lack of floor if it’s just a pit, will kill the enemy outright, but even if it doesn’t they’ll usually take significant enough damage for a followup plunging attack to finish them off.
