Use a takedown on a weakened enemy when nearby threats are closing in. The move eliminates that enemy and briefly protects you during its animation, giving you a moment before you respond to the remaining attackers.
When to use a takedown
Takedowns are most useful when an enemy is close enough to target and already weakened. Choose the immediate threat rather than trying to reach a distant enemy, then use the brief animation window to reassess the situation.
A takedown removes one threat; it does not clear the whole group. Be ready to deal with other nearby enemies once the animation ends.
