Combat Styles: Melee, Ranged, Magic
  • Melee: Focuses on close-quarters combat with swords, hammers, and axes. Strong against single, heavily armored foes. Upgrades increase damage, speed, and unlock powerful flourishes.
  • Ranged: uses rifles, pistols, and crossbows for long-distance attacks. Excellent for picking off enemies from afar or dealing with flying foes. Upgrades improve accuracy, damage, and reload speed.
  • Magic: Employs gauntlets to cast spells like Fireball, Lightning, and Force Push. Versatile for crowd control, area-of-effect damage, and elemental weaknesses. Upgrades increase spell power, range, and unlock spell weaving.

Experiment with each style to find what suits your playstyle. The Road to Rule offers upgrades for all three, allowing for hybrid builds.
