Death Step Fighting Style Guide

Death Step is a lethal fighting style perfect for aggressive and experienced players. Its raw damage and combo tools are unmatched once Max Overheat is activated. It’s particularly effective when used with stunning weapons (like Spikey Trident or Acidum Rifle) or combo-extending fruits.

Though challenging to obtain and master, Death Step is worth the grind—especially if you plan to unlock Godhuman later. It’s also a top-tier choice for sea beast farming and PvP dominance thanks to its fast animations and fiery AoE.
