How to use Ground Slam awakening in Racket Rivals

Each awakening in the game has its own meter that gets filled up while you're playing. As you are engaged with rallies, the ability bar fills and allows you to use the ability on the ground. Any time you hit the shuttle hard or sustain a long rally, the bar fills faster.

Once full, the bar glows, indicating Ground Slam is available to use. Here's how to use this awakening during matches:

• Area Debuff: Its rock summoning creates an area of effect, hindering the player's movements and pushback effect. This can earn you opportunities to score.
• Movement Restriction: Even if your opponents replied to your shot, they are not as agile as they were. Their slow movement will help you aim for the weak areas.
• Free and Accessible: This is a three-star awakening with a drop rate of more than 86%. It allows you to claim it faster using awakening spins.
• Spatial Limitations: Since its effect covers a horizontal area, Ground Slam works best when opponents are clustered or pinned on one side.
• Freeze: This is Gomu's spirit power that stops the shuttle mid-air and can buy time for your opponents to recover from the buff and activate swiftly.
