Powerfist

Powerfists are similar to Butchers, but use a single instead. Like Flameblades, they tend to take cover until a player is close, which can allow them to ambush players. This is further aided by their faster sprint speed. Upon closing on players Powerfists will charge their melee to inflict massive damage, and then follows it up with a combo of quick melee. Powerfists have a much longer charge time than Butchers, but after their long charge they will attack like normal. They can also perform a powerful ground slam, knocking enemies up in the air and inflicting damage.
==Tactics==
*They possess similar attack strategies as Butchers.
*When Powerfists "prepare" to hit their target, their animation speed is set to be slower compared to other melee Grineer. This makes headshots surprisingly convenient.
*Powerfists can deal a status effect when they hit, temporarily increasing damage dealt to health.
*Their electric status effects are guaranteed on their special slam attacks and deal scaling damage based on their level. As Sentinel companions are within range of the electrical arcs they are very susceptible to the damage and can outright be killed by proxy of the status effect on the player. 
== Spawning Tips==
*Powerfists, which only spawn in non-endless missions with a minimum mission level of at least 10, are most frequently found on Grineer Galleons near Mars, Ceres, Saturn or Sedna but may also appear on Grineer Asteroids (Saturn or Sedna) or within Grineer Shipyards (Sedna only).
*Powerfists can be commonly found in Capture mission types, such as Cassini, Saturn. They also appear frequently in Sabotage missions, such as Enceladus, Saturn.
*Mobile Defense missions, including Charybdis, Sedna, have a very high spawn rate for Powerfists. These can be potentially risky though as failing a mission yields no dropped mods.
==Bugs==
*Powerfist's charged melee and quick melee damage seems to be reversed. Tested on a level 10 Powerfist, his charged melee only deals around 60 damage whilst his quick melee deals over 200 damage.
* Blocking while getting slam attacked by a Powerfist ( damage) it will oddly send you flying farther than not blocking.
==Trivia==
* Prior to , this was a very uncommon enemy type, normally appearing in small numbers in Grineer Capture missions and very rarely in Exterminate.
** increased the spawn rate of Powerfists, making them more common overall.
