To execute a Resolute Strike, initiate a series of Light Attacks on the enemy and ensure that you have at least one Focus Point.

As you strike, you will notice that Focus is being collected at the bottom right corner of your screen. Once the bar is fully charged, a Focus Point will appear in the circle. This will allow you to execute a Heavy Attack at any point during your Light Attack combo, triggering Resolute Strike.
