Crippling Strike is a Combat skill in The Witcher 3 Remastered in the Fast Attack branch with 3 levels at 1 skill point each. It opens once Whirl is learned. Each level also raises adrenaline gain, up to +3% at level 3. It works only while equipped in an open skill slot.

As a red skill it multiplies the bonus of a Lesser red mutagen, Red mutagen or Greater red mutagen slotted in its skill group, and fits the Strengthened Synapses slots opened by 8 mutations with red among their colours.

It leads to Deadly Precision and Flood of Anger.
