In the newest game of the Sonic franchise, called Sonic Frontiers, players find themselves in a strange new realist world. While some skills will be familiar to long-time Sonic fans, there are a selection of new important skills to learn in Frontiers.
One of the better skills that Sonic can learn fairly early on in the skill tree is called Wild Rush. This move is a great addition to Sonic's defensive movement; it allows players to zigzag out of the way of attacks and zoom across large distances in an instant.
How to Unlock Wild Rush in Sonic Frontiers
Wild Rush is on the third tier of the skill tree for Sonic Frontiers. Players will need to pay for all the skills leading up to it, then 10 more skill points to pay for this move itself. If new players need some tips on getting skill points in Sonic Frontiers, they should will need to kill enemies and break items out in the world. Anything that drops glowing blue diamonds will give Sonic additional skill points.
In order to unlock Wild Rush, players will first need to unlock:
- Cyloop - 1 Skill Point
- Phantom Rush - 3 Skill Points
- Sonic Boom - 5 Skill Points
- Wild Rush - 10 Skill Points
How to Perform Wild Rush in Sonic Frontiers
In order to use this move, Sonic will need to be in the midst of dodging. First, target an enemy. Then press the bumper button / quick dodge / parry buttons in Sonic Frontiers in the direction Sonic should move:
- L1 or R1 on PS5
- LB or RB on Xbox
- Q and E on PC
- Bumpers on Switch
Then press the Sonic Frontiers' attack button:
- Square on PS5
- X on Xbox
- Left mouse click on PC
- Y on Switch
This will trigger the Wild Rush movement. It will take a little trial and error to get used to it, but it is worth it to get this amazing dodge as part of Sonic's combat variety. In spite of how helpful that WIld Rush can be while in combat, players will also want to make sure they save up for Recovery Smash. This helpful skill costs 50 skill points and is at the bottom of the skill tree, but it helps Sonic to recover immediately. This is super helpful when a player fumbles their Wild Rush in the middle of combat, or if they are trying to study the pattern of the new enemy.
Sonic Frontiers is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
