So if this is a silly question I need you to deal with it 
Is a finisher the end result of a successful grapple or cqc melee knockout or the glowing body aleph stealing climax of taking out a player or elite, or both? I was going to use a card for Mikah and instead of field test it myself I was hoping one you in this great community could let me know. Thanks

Sometimes it counts.  Sometimes it doesn't.  No idea what the distinction is.

A finisher is any melee attack that triggers a special melee animation that results in a kill. Sometimes it even counts killing them with melee while you are wounded. But no, you do not have to grapple to initiate a finisher.

Cold blood is a fantastic card, if that's what you want to use.

last punch on melee ALWAYS triggers finisher cards.  Grapple SOMETIMES triggers finisher cards.  That's all the help I can be

Thankyou both, i appreciate the responses. The little manual we get doesnt directly mention a 'Finisher' so thought I would ask

I use a card with mikah that lowers her aleph signal when i do a "finisher", and the effect happens everytime i use grapple, or simply melee kill a minion
