Leon S. Kennedy

Learn how to perform all of Leon S. Kennedy's unique melee attacks in Resident Evil 6, including the Body Stomp, Head Stomp, and more. Master his close-combat skills!

Alright, let’s talk about Leon S. Kennedy in Resident Evil 6. He’s got some pretty cool melee moves that can get you out of a tight spot, especially when you’re up close and personal with the infected. Think of this as your cheat sheet to making Leon a close-combat beast.

Leon's Melee Moves:

1. Body Stomp: This one’s for when an enemy is down on the ground. You need to have the Wing Shooter equipped, and then you can perform this by facing their feet or sides. It’s a good way to finish off a downed foe.
2. Body Throw: After landing a headshot, which staggers the enemy, you can perform a front melee attack. This move uses the enemy’s own body against them, literally.
3. Counter: This is pure reaction. Just as an enemy is about to grab you, hit the melee button. Nail the timing, and you’ll pull off a counter that can stun them.
4. Down We Go!: If you manage to get behind an enemy, you can perform this heavy melee attack. It’s great for taking out tougher enemies quickly if you can flank them.
5. Edge Slam: This move is situational. You need to be right next to a railing or ledge when you perform a melee attack. It’s a stylish way to deal with enemies near edges.
6. Head Stomp: Similar to the Body Stomp, this requires the Wing Shooter to be equipped and the enemy to be grounded. You’ll focus on their head this time, a more precise finisher.
7. Heart Stabber: This one requires the Survival Knife to be equipped, and the enemy needs to be on the ground. You’ll perform a brutal stab, perfect for when you’re really in a pinch and have the knife ready.
8. High Kick(s): These are Leon’s standard melee attacks when you’re just pressing the melee button in front of an enemy. They’re your bread and butter for close-quarters combat.
9. Roundhouse: You can perform this by pressing the melee button in front of or behind an enemy. It’s a solid all-around attack that can also be used to save an ally if they’re in trouble.
10. Shoulder Ram: This is Leon’s standard melee attack when you’re dashing. It’s quick and effective for closing the distance and landing an initial hit.
11. Wall Slam: If you’re close to a wall when you initiate a melee attack, Leon can slam the enemy into it. This is a great way to stun or damage enemies caught between you and a wall.
12. Weapon Improv: This move is for when the enemy you’re facing has a weapon equipped. You can use your melee attack to disarm or damage them while they’re holding their weapon.
