Down strong

A down strong is a ground attack in Fraymakers that can be performed in various ways, depending on the player's controls. By default, it is performed by pressing down and then the attack or input immediately afterward or simultaneously while grounded. It can also optionally be performed by pressing down with a dedicated strong attack input, pressing the attack and special inputs simultaneously while holding up, or pressing down on the "Secondary Stick" controls.

Down strongs are generally strong outward strikes that attack directly low to the ground in front of or on both sides of the character. Like with other strong attacks, they can be charged by holding the attack input to increase the damage and knockback they deal. They are often the fastest and weakest of a character's strong attacks at the cost of being the slowest, and they are most often used for coverage or to quickly punish opponents. They can also be horizontal KO moves, though they are typically less effective at this than forward strongs. They often reach low enough to attack opponents below or hanging on a ledge, which also makes them powerful edgeguarding tools.
