Relentless Assault is a physical ability for Lightning in Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII. It is a unique physical attack exclusive to the Siegfried garb, dealing physical and magic damage to an opponent.
Obtained[]
Relentless Assault Lv. 2 is automatically equipped as one of the locked abilities for the Siegfried garb, which could only be obtained by posting on the game's Outerworld Services. Due to the Outerworld Services' discontinuation in 2015, the garb and the ability could no longer be obtained through legitimate means.
Mechanics[]
When initially used, Lightning will launch her onto the target with a basic slash attack, dealing physical damage. She will do the following when a full three-hit Relentless Assault combo is initiated: the aforementioned animation, followed by performing a powerful dodging slash to the side, and the final press results in Lightning performing the Element spell on the target, dealing magic damage of the game's four elements. The ability costs 20 ATB and can be used while airborne.
Relentless Assault has the following set stats and cannot be upgraded.
