Combat in Origins is a blend of offense and defense. Use light attacks (RB/R1) for quick strikes and heavy attacks (RT/R2) to break shields or deal significant damage. Blocking (LB/L1) is effective against most attacks, while parrying (LB/L1 + Y/Triangle at the right moment) opens enemies to critical hits. Dodging (B/Circle) is your best friend against unblockable attacks. Always prioritize ranged enemies and utilize your bow for stealth takedowns or to thin out groups before engaging in melee.
