Shoulder Charge is a Ranger ability in Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor.
It upgrades the dash attack, where, instead of tackling an enemy, Talion is able to break apart wooden shields, and knock down the wielding enemy. The ability takes two seconds to cool down.
While this ability requires the user to quickly tap the Grab button while running, the normal running tackle-grab move can still be performed by holding down the grab button instead.
This ability is useful primarily for taking out the un-Counterable interference capabilities of Defenders prior to combat engagement.
It can also be used to knock other types of enemies to the ground to allow an immediate Ground Finisher, which also allows Talion to bypass the Berserker's counter ability.
