Grasp this jewel to rush at the nearest enemy and strike.
Upgrade: Grants invincibility and activates Rush faster.

The Judgment Rush is a Curio in Specter of Torment.

Usage[]

Once activated, Specter Knight freezes in midair and swings across the screen to slash at the nearest enemy, even going through wall and ceilings. It can be chained multiple times without any delay, but won't function if there are no enemies on screen. If Specter Knight connects with an obstacle such as spikes or other enemies, he gets hurt and the move is interrupted. It consumes half of a bar of Specter Knight's Darkness Meter if the move is unsuccessful and a whole bar if successful.

The move mimics an attack of Specter Knight in his Shovel of Hope boss fight, where he swings across the screen to slash at Shovel Knight. Much like this move from his original boss fight, if the target moves too far from its original position, the slash won't connect. In its upgraded form, Specter Knight is rendered invulnerable during the attack, and it activates faster.

It is fairly stronger than Specter Knight's normal slash attack, doing a full bubble of damage to enemies. It is extremely useful for skipping through difficult portions and blockades in levels and can be chained with a Dash Slash in midair.

Availability[]

Access to the Judgment Rush can be purchased from Red for Red Skulls 10 in the Tower of Fate after beating the Flying Machine. It then has to be collected by completing its dedicated Curio stage. It can also be upgraded by Legion for Treasures icon 4000.
