Buff Blood Punch With A Rune
The "Punch and Reave" rune allows you to survive longer in intense fights as it forces demons killed with a Blood Punch to drop health pickups. Use this rune if you favor fighting in close range.

Once charged, you can use the Blood Punch by pressing the melee key. The default key for the PC is "E" while it is "R3" for the PS4. It has the same key as the Glory Kill, and if pressed in front of a staggered target, the game will always execute a Glory Kill.
