Desert Strike is a utility technique, and a racial perk for Gerudo. As such, a Gerudo can choose to gain it as a perk upon character creation. If a Gerudo chooses to gain this perk at some point after creation, the perk costs 15 rupees less than the listed cost.

The origin of this ability is mysterious and unknown, and although it's said to be in the blood of Gerudo, it nonetheless requires extensive training to use effectively. Whenever a the user of this technique can land a melee strike to an opponent's neck, either with her bare hands or a weapon, the target immediately becomes paralyzed for several seconds, dropping to the ground as their body seems to go completely limp. After a few seconds pass, the body returns to completely normal function.

Trivia
