Noggin Shot (ヘッドすないぷ, Head Snipe) is one of Kino's physical Battle Arts in Xenoblade Chronicles: Future Connected, and a clone of Sharla's Head Shot. It deals high damage, is a guaranteed critical hit, and has a small chance to instantly kill dazed enemies.

Overview

It's not ideal to try and rely on the instant death chance because it's small, but if something gets dazed there's no reason to not have a go. Because of its huge cooldown, it should probably be saved for such situations, rather than used on a whim (although it starting at level IV alleviates this somewhat). Because Future Connected lacks Chain Attacks, it is not quite as bothersome that it is Kino's only red art.
