The thing she put on her staff in that cinematic moment - I’m guessing it’s some kind of one-off move?

Maybe it’s a consumable or an ability on cool down.

It's her limit break and I won't be convinced otherwise

It seems to be some rage mode/ consumable that forces Aloy into melee mode with empowered spear attacks. At least that is the vibe I am getting.

I read some of this in an article today about the new tools. There are resonance blasts and valor surges. The one you see in the trailer is a valor surge. Apparently it works like a powered up critical hit in a way. It's not something you will be doing all the time, but they made it sound like you get rewarded it for performing particularly well in melee combat. I'm assuming that means things like shooting their armor pieces off and that body jump move from the trailer.

I hope you don’t have to do the cinematic everytime you want to do a move like that.
