Wire Attack

The Wire Attack (ワイヤーアタック) is a move that appears in Sonic Forces. It is a technique utilized by the Avatar for attacking enemies and swinging around.

Description
When performing the Wire Attack, the Avatar fires a grabbling hook from their wrist-mounted grabbling gun at a single target. If used on an enemy, the Avatar can then pull themselves towards their target and land a momentum-fueled strike. If used to hook onto an inanimate object on the other hand, the Avatar can use the Wire Attack to swing around with the aid of their grabbling hook's wire.

In gameplay, the Wire Attack can be used for attacking enemies and platforming. When used against enemies, the player attacks enemies like when using the Homing Attack. When used for platforming on the other hand, the Wire Attack allows the player to hook onto floating red and green gimmicks in midair, thereby enabling the Avatar to swing around the gimmick and be flung to another place in the stage. To perform the Wire Attack in gameplay, the player must press while in midair.
