Overview

Death Step is a fighting style obtainable in the Second and Third Seas. Death Step is the upgraded version of Dark Step, making it significantly more powerful in many aspects. It enhances the user's legs even further, now letting them wield extremely fast attacks. While this Fighting Style is equipped, Aura stages are based on the user's legs instead of their arms while activated. This is entirely visual and provides no buffs apart from regular Aura buffs.

Abilities

Moveset= With Maximum Overheat: The user enters a stance and a fiery whirlwind-like effect appears around the user. Upon releasing the move, the user dashes forward slightly faster, dealing higher damage to anyone in their way, while also leaving flames in the area of contact which deal tick damage to all enemies within it. With Maximum Overheat: Upon releasing the move, the user quickly kicks the air, creating a very fast flaming wind bullet that deals greater damage and leaves a flaming trail if used close to the ground. With Maximum Overheat: The user barrages their opponent with flaming kicks, and the final axe kick lights the ground on fire, dealing extra burn damage.

Tips & tricks

• Using Death Step with Ghoul's V3 ability will allow the player to use Maximum Overheat infinitely. The player can simply activate Maximum Overheat, and when it runs out use Heightened Senses to be able to use the moves at 40% cooldown, then use Maximum Overheat again. And so, the player can maintain Maximum Overheat forever. • With Heightened Senses, the player can activate Maximum Overheat even before the current Maximum Overheat Buff expires. Doing so resets the cooldown of Maximum Overheat, but the buff will still expire after a few seconds. Therefore, the player should wait until the Maximum Overheat Buff has fully ended before reactivating it.

Trivia

• Death Step and its inferior version Dark Step are the only current fighting styles in the whole game that have a transformation-type move that enhances damage, as well as the only ones that have four moves. • There is a bug where if [V] Maximum Overheat is active while switching fighting styles, the visual effect on the user's feet will stay until the user dies or leaves the game. This also applies to Dark Step. Keep in mind that this is purely visual effect, and does not provide any buffs. • When using [Z] Rocket Kick on the edges of the volcano at the Magma Village, the crater created will be purple, similar to T-Rex's [F] move.
