Special Combo Whiplash

The Special Combo Whiplash is one of the 3 Special Combo Moves used by Catwoman, the others being the Special Combo Takedown and the Special Combo Whip Trip.

Animation
When executing the Special Combo Whiplash, Catwoman quickly whips and deals damage to multiple surrounding enemies at once.

Gameplay
In Batman: Arkham City, the command for the Whiplash is the same as Batman's Special Combo Bat Swarm, namely X + A on XBox, □ + × on PlayStation and R on PC. In Batman: Arkham Knight, with the introduction of the Weapon Steal ability that occupies that command on console, its command was switched to the same as Batman's Special Combo Disarm and Destroy, namely Y + X on XBox, ▵ + □ on PlayStation and Alt + 3 on PC.

The effect of the Whiplash is similar to that of Batman's Bat Swarm in that it deals damage to multiple surrounding enemies at once, and it can be blocked by Armored Henchmen, shielded henchmen and Brutes. Lieutenants and Titans are still affected by it.

Like the aforementioned Whip Trip, the Whiplash adds 1 combo multiplier, then 5 points per multiplier per hit enemy, and it is not as fruitful as other characters' Special Combo moves with the same command. It counts as 1 combat variation.
