Description: Throw is mostly used to keep opponents at a distance by either launching them away or knocking them over, damaging them and rendering them helpless.

In certain areas Throw may knock enemies off ledges, making them fall to their death. If used near destructible objects, Throw can break them and hit enemies with debris. Any moveable boxes can also be Thrown into them, injuring them further as their shields cannot absorb the damage. In enclosed quarters, Advanced and Master Throw are strong enough to punch enemies against walls and cause significant damage.
