.: Help for kick

A powerful unarmed strike using your legs. The kick command
automatically adapts to the combat situation:

━━━ Kick (standing target) ━━━

  A solid kick with a chance to knock the target prone.
  Good damage and the knockdown opens up follow-up stomps.

━━━ Stomp (prone target) ━━━

  When the target is already on the ground, your kick becomes
  a devastating stomp that bypasses half their armor. Also
  extends how long they stay down. This is the payoff for
  knocking someone prone.

━━━ Knee (grapple, in control) ━━━

  When you have control in a clinch or ground grapple, your
  kick becomes a close-range knee strike. Strong damage that
  works where kicks can't.

Usage: 

  kick       Auto-selects variant based on position.
  stomp      Alias for kick (stomps if target is prone).
  knee       Alias for kick (knees if in grapple control).

Requires being in combat. Shares a cooldown with other
special moves (bash, trip). Uses the unarmed-combat skill.
