When attacking an enemy facing you, this skill will hit their back, allowing it to bypass shielded enemies, as well as Raven's Core Shield.
Due to its low MP Cost, Assault Strike is great for resetting Gale Mode on a full Annihilation bar without consuming much of your MP.
- After unlocking Berserk, it will also be useful at reducing skill cooldowns for a small MP Cost.

Contrary to its description, this skill does not actually punch enemies. Instead, Elesis sends out a small blood projectile in front of her hand and causes it to explode a little distance ahead (thus the reason it can hit enemies from behind when used near them).
