Combat Guide

See also: Guides

Combat is a fairly simple affair, but there is a lot of hidden depth in it that is poorly explained or just not explained at all in game. I was getting the sense that I was missing some things as I played, but couldn’t find any particularly helpful guides. Some of this advice is based on my own experiences, but a lot of it also came from reading other posts by people and testing their claims myself, so I can’t really take credit for any of the discoveries. Think of this more as a compiled list with my own opinions thrown in than an original, end-all be-all guide.

This stuff is mostly for new players; if you’ve made it to the post game, you either know all this or don’t need to. That said, I’d love some feedback and additions from other more experienced players. And there are probably mistakes, so please point out any you see and I’ll make the appropriate edits.
