The Intense Precision trophy in Control Resonant asks you to keep Dylan’s Dominance flow state active for 60 continuous seconds. Dominance triggers when you fill an enemy’s Falter bar and then Execute them, and it only lasts a short time on its own, so the whole task is about chaining Executions fast enough that the timer never empties.

Quick answer: Fill an enemy’s Falter bar, press L3 to Execute, then Execute another enemy before the Dominance meter drains. Repeat until the 60-second mark. Enabling One-Hit Falters in Assist Mode makes this trivial and does not block the trophy.

How Dominance works

Dominance is a flow state that increases Dylan’s melee damage. Apply Falter until an enemy’s stagger bar is full, then press the left stick to execute them. Each Execution activates Dominance for 8 seconds: Primary and Combo Finisher damage go up by 100%, while Secondary damage rises by 50%.

The key detail is that Executing another enemy before the current state ends extends the timer instead of restarting it. String enough Executions together and the clock keeps climbing until it reaches a full minute. Before any of this, buy the Dominance talent in the Gap for one point, since the state is unavailable until you own it.

Spend all available upgrades on the Talent tree’s left column to gain Extended Dominance. Each state then lasts 15 seconds, giving you much more time between Executions.

Assist Mode method (fastest route)

Assist Mode carries no trophy penalty, so the quickest way to unlock Intense Precision is to turn on One-Hit Falters. That setting fills any enemy’s Falter gauge from a single hit, letting you Execute on demand and chain the state without a specialized build.

Open the pause menu, go to Options and then Assist Mode, and confirm that you want to enable it. Scroll down and check the box for One-Hit Falters.
Enter a combat encounter. The training portal in the Gap works well, and so does any open-world fight with a cluster of enemies nearby.
Hit an enemy once to stagger it, then press L3 to Execute. The Dominance icon appears in the lower-left corner and the timer begins.
Wait for the Dominance meter to fall to roughly the halfway point, then Execute the next enemy to extend the state. Keep repeating against respawning or grouped enemies until the timer passes 60 seconds.

Legit method and Falter build

If you would rather earn it through normal play, the goal is to stack as much Falter generation as possible while keeping your damage low, so enemies stagger quickly but survive long enough to Execute. This is easier after the endgame, once more Talents and Artifacts are available, though it can be attempted earlier.

For Aberrant Forms, Cleave offers the most Falter-focused upgrade nodes and applies Lifted for extra buildup, while Drill applies Weakened to make enemies take more damage and Falter faster. Ground Slam and Spore Burst both spread Falter to nearby enemies, which keeps the whole group staggering. The Practice Knot Artifact is a solid alternative, adding +15% Falter against Heavy Enemies.

Find a large group of enemies and open with a Combat Ability to start building Falter across the pack.
Land your Combo Ender (the uppercut) on enemies, since it generates the highest Falter of any attack.
Execute a staggered enemy to enter Dominance. With the Ornate Buckle equipped, each Execution also refunds a large amount of Power, fueling more ability use.
Quickly fill the next enemy’s Falter bar and Execute them once the Dominance meter drops to about halfway. Keep the cycle going until you hit 60 seconds.

Try a Survival challenge on a SHUM! arcade machine, where enemies keep coming. The machine at Avenue Street, in the West Incursion Zone’s northern area, is a good choice.

How to confirm it unlocked

The moment Dominance stays active for a full 60 seconds, the PlayStation notification for the Intense Precision Bronze trophy pops in the top-right corner. If it does not appear, the timer emptied at some point before the minute mark, so tighten the gap between Executions and keep the state from fully draining.
