Mastering combat goes beyond simple counters. Learn to disarm heavy enemies and use their own weapons against them. This is incredibly effective against Brutes. Practice chain kills by quickly targeting and eliminating multiple enemies after a successful counter. Use smoke bombs to disorient large groups, allowing for easy assassinations or escapes. use your pistol for quick ranged damage against troublesome targets or to interrupt enemy attacks. Environmental kills, like pushing enemies into water or off ledges, are also instant and silent.
