Stealth is the cornerstone of the Assassin's Creed experience. Utilize cover, blend into crowds, and use environmental distractions to remain undetected. The 'Eagle Vision' ability (press the left stick) highlights enemies, objectives, and interactable objects, making it invaluable for planning your approach. When combat is unavoidable, focus on parrying incoming attacks (timing is crucial) and dodging heavy blows. Counter-attacks after a successful parry are often one-hit kills against weaker enemies. Remember, Basim is not a warrior; prolonged open combat is often a death sentence. Prioritize stealth and escape when outnumbered.
