As someone with both incredible strength, flexibility and proficiency in the use of his legs, particularly his lower legs and feet, Alistair has developed a particular ability that makes him incredibly distinctive among acrobats: Gravelmonger. Unlike most acrobats who may use the talent to perform attractive, impressive feats of agility, Alistair has fine-tuned his Acrobats not for aesthetic feats of dexterity, but solely for the art of killing. Gravelmonger is the usage of the legs and feet to perform extremely dirty and unappealing actions on the fly, all around a similar basis of low-lying, surprise motions.

The Gravelmonger technique entails anchoring both feet to the ground, followed by moving the user's head like a pendulum. Then, using centrifugal force, the body is swung very close to the ground, utilizing the awkward, low-lying angle to catch the target completely off-guard. Due to the swiftness and precision of the Gravelmonger technique, it can often be pulled off incredibly quickly, offering a massive advantage to Alistair and many times a lethal opportunity. Many times, this ability appears similar to 'limbo', but often Alistair's entire body can appear to be swinging and sliding only slightly above the ground, totally skirting around the movements of his foes.
