A Secondary Melee Attack - Push

[Sarsante]

Im sorry if it was already suggested but I couldnt find it.

 

But I was thinking about a melee secondary attack, where your char holds the weapon sideways in something like a 45/60 degrees angle and pushes a zombie that its too close also it would have a small chance to flinch/knockdown the zombie. The chance to flinch/ko could be improved by pummel pete.

 

For balancing porpuses I guess it should have a kinda slow animation and consumes more stam than a simple melee attack, like 4 -5 times more, so you cant spam it to keep all zombies away. Maybe you cant flinch/ko heavy (fat) zombies until certain level of pummel pete and it would just push them back.

 

What do you guys think?

You should watch the videos linked here: https://7daystodie.com/forums/showthread.php?74084-Developer-Discussions-Alpha-17

 

There is already a secondary attack in the pre-release version, a power attack. If you watch the videos you can find out whether it will push enemies back or any similar effect beyond increased damage.
