Sherry Birkin

Learn how to perform Sherry Birkin's unique melee attacks in Resident Evil 6. Master her Body Blow, Flip Kick, and more to dominate close-quarters combat.

Alright, let's talk about Sherry Birkin's close-quarters combat in Resident Evil 6. She's got some pretty neat moves that can get you out of a tight spot when enemies get too close. Think of these as your go-to options when you're out of ammo or just want to conserve it.

Here's a quick rundown of her special melee attacks and how to pull them off:

• Body Blow — This one's for when an enemy is knocked down. Make sure you have your firearm equipped, then attack them from their feet or sides. It’s a solid way to finish off a staggered foe.
• Edge Slam — See a railing or a ledge? Use it! When you're right next to one, you can perform this move. It's great for knocking enemies off balance or even out of the fight if they're near an edge.
• Couter — This is all about timing. Right before an enemy grabs you, press the melee button. Nail it, and you'll evade their grasp and likely stun them, giving you a chance to counter-attack.
• Flip Kick — If you're in front of an enemy, a well-timed melee press can result in a Flip Kick. It’s a quick way to create some space.
• Head Slam — This is a heavy attack. Position yourself behind an enemy and press the melee button. It’s more impactful than the Flip Kick and can really stagger them.
• Head Stomp/Shock — Similar to the Body Blow, this is for grounded enemies. If you have a firearm equipped (or the stun rod for the shock version), face the downed enemy's head and attack. It’s a brutal finisher.
• High Kick — This is a heavy attack, and it's also useful for saving an ally. If you're in front of an enemy, press the melee button to perform it. It’s got good power behind it.
• Jump Kick — This is Sherry’s standard dashing melee attack. When you're sprinting towards an enemy, a quick melee press will execute this move. It’s your go-to for closing distance aggressively.
• One-Two Combo — These are Sherry’s basic, bread-and-butter melee attacks. Just press the melee button a couple of times. If you're using a one-handed weapon, the combo even adds a kick at the end, making it a bit more powerful.
• Roundhouse — This is a light attack you can perform whether you're in front of or behind the foe. It’s a quick, versatile move that can keep pressure on.
• Wall Slam — Just like the Edge Slam, this requires environmental interaction. If you're standing near a wall, you can use it to slam an enemy into it. Great for crowd control or setting up follow-up attacks.

Mastering these moves will make Sherry a much more effective character in combat, especially when you're facing groups of enemies or tougher opponents up close. Don't be afraid to experiment with them!
