Direct Heavy Combo

The Direct Heavy Combo is a sequence of heavy attacks in the Lords of Shadow games. To start this combo in Lords of Shadow or Lords of Shadow 2, hold down the [Direct Attack] button. The initial direct attack will be followed up with a direct heavy attack, which deals out more damage and may break some guards. Subsequent Direct Attacks will each be another heavy attack. The number of attacks allowed in the combo can be upgraded. In Mirror of Fate, the combo can only be performed as a Counterstrike after performing a Synchronized Block. Its area attack counterpart is the Chain Barrier.
