What are the Impact Controls in EA FC Mobile and how to perform them

The Impact Controls in EA FC Mobile have enhanced the three basic aspects of the game, i.e., Knock On, Power Shot, and Hard Tackle, ensuring you get a gaming experience like never before.

Power Shot

The Power Shot is the fastest shot type in the game. When executed, it runs like a bullet towards the opponent’s goal. However, it is a high-risk, high-reward mechanic.

The length of these shots is longer than the regular shot, increasing the chances of getting tackled by the opponent while executing it. However, unleashing the shot successfully can give you an immensely satisfying goal.

Here is how to perform them when the game releases:

• Buttons: Swipe right from the shoot button.
• Gestures: Swipe Back and forth towards the goal in one motion.

Bonus tip: The Power Shots are completely assisted. However, you should have a good aim. Also, overpowering a power shot to add more speed might drift the ball away from the target. Thus, use around a 50% power-up rate to increase your scoring chance.

Knock On

The Knock On is a new and exciting control mechanism and a new addition to the mobile version. Arriving on mobile with EA FC Mobile, Knock Ons, when combined with Dynamic Game Speed, will allow full speed for the player while dribbling.

Here is how to perform a Knock On:

• Assign Knock On in the Team Skill menu, and then swipe it to the assigned direction from the Sprint and Tackle button in the game.

Bonus tip: Knock On is a great skill, especially when combined with the Power Shot. Break Away from the defenders using this, and you can create space to take the Power Shot.

Hard Tackle

Hard Tackles are being introduced in EA FC Mobile to increase your chances while defending against the Power Shots. These far-lunging tackles allow you to block the opponent’s shots at the last moment. This faster and more powerful tackle is here to help the defending team.

Here is how to perform a Hard Tackle:

• Swipe Left from the ‘Sprint and Tackle’ button when in a defensive state.

Bonus tip: Make your defenders roam around the wingers of the enemy team and the shooter. That way, it will be easier to break their buildups, intercept their crosses in the box, and the Power Shots.
