Tactics[]
All Destroyer and Assassin players will find themselves using this ability frequently at the beginning of the game due to its increased damage compared to Quick Strike. Later on, Smash might be overshadowed by later physical abilities, such as Master Strike and Coup De Grace due to the amount to Focus required to repeatedly use it.
However, keeping Smash at tier 3 allows the ability to be used until the end of the game due to its high scaling. The ability starts to plateau in its scaling at tier 4 and 5. In a Legend run, if a player does not want to re-spec, then investing three points in Smash can be viable. It would allow for investiment in other abilities that can help such as Break or Iron Skin. As long as Sonny has a way to regenerate Focus, Smash will remain a consistent way to do damage.
