Soul Surge (ソウルサージ Sourusāji?) is a Skill used by all playable characters in Sonic and the Black Knight. When equipped with this Skill, the characters uses the energy in their own Soul Gauge to perform a special move.

Description[]

When using Soul Surge, the user performs a special attack that allows the user to either attack enemies, launching a kick to bump objects or to advance quicker through the stages in Adventure Mode. The Soul Surge's performance and effects differs between each user as it utilizes the user's special attributes and skills (Sonic's super speed, Percival/Blaze's pyrokinesis, Lancelot/Shadow's chaos powers etc.) in its performance.

To perform Soul Surge in gameplay, the player must have some energy in the Soul Gauge. To activate Soul Surge, the player must press WiiB. While active, the player is allowed to keep using the Soul Surge for as long as the player has energy in the Soul Gauge. To suspend the Soul Surge, the player must press WiiB. The energy in the Soul Gauge will decrease when Soul Surge is used, and if it runs out the move will end.

The action the player can perform with Soul Surge depends on the conditions and the player's action while the Soul Surge is active:

  • When there are enemies nearby when performing Soul Surge, if the player flicks the Wii Remote, the playable character will launch an offensive attack at the target/nearby enemies that can destroy weaker enemies and inflict heavy damage on tougher enemies.
  • When there are targets nearby when performing Soul Surge and the player swings the Nunchuck Remote, the playable character will launch a kick on the chosen target which can momentarily stun opponents and trigger reactions with certain objects.
  • In the Adventure Mode of Sonic and the Black Knight, when there are no enemies in range when performing the Soul Surge and the player flicks the Wii Remote, the playable character will initiate a high-speed dash akin to Speed Break from Sonic and the Secret Rings.

For some of the Soul Surge users, a red targeting reticule appears above nearby foes when using Soul Surge in gameplay, which allows the player to select a target to attack with Soul Surge and to continue attacking with it by swinging the Wii Remote when the reticules appear over new enemies. By attacking when the reticle is bright white and the playable character's blade is glowing, the player can perform a Perfect Hit for more damage and extra points.

To use Soul Surge in gameplay, the playable character must be equipped with this Skill. Unlike most other Skills, Soul Surge is a standard Skill that will always be equipped to one of the playable characters' weapon/combat styles. However, the player first obtains Soul Surge in Adventure Mode when clearing the mission "Special Mission: Reach the blacksmith's shop" in Camelot Castle.
