Master the dodge roll (Q key) to avoid damage. Learn enemy attack patterns to time your dodges and counter-attacks. Use weapon combos effectively; light attacks often lead to heavy attacks for different effects. Apply status effects like Bleed (daggers, some swords) or Sunder (maces, some axes) to weaken enemies. Utilize environmental hazards to your advantage. Always bring a strong combat thrall and keep them well-equipped. Practice blocking with a shield against unblockable attacks.
