To do a burst in TSB, get the burst meter full first, then press R on PC to activate it. In the latest burst clips, the meter fills when multiple players are hitting you at the same time, not when you deal damage, and the burst sends a shockwave that knocks nearby enemies away.

Quick Scoop

  • The burst bar appears near your ultimate bar.
  • It charges while you’re being pressured by multiple opponents.
  • Once full, press R to use it on PC.
  • Activating it knocks enemies back and can break you out of combos.

How it works

A simple way to think about it: burst is a defensive escape tool, not an offensive charge-up. If you’re getting ganged up on, the meter builds over time, and once it fills, burst creates space around you. That means it’s most useful when you’re being comboed or surrounded.

Practical tip

If you’re trying to trigger it consistently, stay alert for situations where two or more players are attacking you at once, since that seems to be the condition shown in recent burst explanations. If you want, I can also explain burst timing, combo escape use, or burst on mobile/console.
