Finisher

Overview

Finishers are melee executions on weakened enemies. An enemy that can be finished flashes yellow and shows a yellow circle overhead. Pressing the Finisher key closes the distance and plays an animation that kills the target. The target is immune to other damage during the animation, but the player can still take damage.

Minor enemies become finishable at half health, Elites at one third and Majors at one sixth. Ultras, vehicles, Darkblades and Hydras cannot be finished. Barrier Champions can become temporarily immune while using their defensive abilities. Finishers do not get through an immunity shield or a Hobgoblin's defensive shield. Each class has a default Finisher, and you can mark several as favourites so the game picks one at random. Finishers were first added in Shadowkeep.
