Also there's i think two other tactics too. One is that you punch that he goes into the air and then you can hit the "lift" option. And other is a skill to Buy i think. That when you dodge you would hit or hold one of the attack bottons
Indeed, the lift in the air does more damage if I'm not mistaken, I almost did it at 25:54 with Hook, but I pressed it too late, and the one to buy is the reversal, I don't use much cuz I normally prefer to dodge then hit/shoot with the weapons, or in this case with Grimlock I try to grab'em either with the quick lift or the grab ability lol.
I really wish this is on the switch so I can join in on the fun, but sadly have to deal with Earthspark Expedition, which I done a 100% complete already.
Indeed man, it would have been great if it was also on the switch, the idea would probably come after some time if the game stayed for longer, unfortunately the game was delisted/abandoned on the same year the switch was released ;-;
