— Description, Sonic Frontiers^[1]

The Cyknuckle^[1] (サイナックル^[2], Sainakkuru^?) is a move that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. It is a variant of the Cyloop used by Knuckles the Echidna.

Description

Skill icon for Cyknuckle.

When performing the Cyknuckle, Knuckles slams his fist into the ground which releases a spiral-shaped updraft.

In the gameplay of Sonic Frontiers, Cyknuckle serves as an unlockable Skill for Knuckles to purchase from the Skills menu for fifteen Skill Points in The Final Horizon. It can be used by pressing //. It can also be activated in the air.

Unlike Sonic's Quick Cyloop, the Cyknuckle's gauge is charged by collecting Rings, similar to the Cyhammer and Cyblaster. Once full, it can be used for four times before the gauge is depleted.

Overview

The Cyknuckle is a Skill that can be used in combat, such as dealing damage to enemies, exploration, or special indigo signs that the Cyloop cannot dig up. This move can also be performed while Knuckles is hanging onto a wall, where it is required to do so in some cases.
