Skills & Combat Styles — GreedFall Guide

Explore GreedFall 2's revamped combat system. Learn about slower, semi-real-time battles, party control, strategic pausing, diverse abilities, and companion roles to dominate your adversaries.

Combat in Greedfall 2 has received a major overhaul, shifting to a slower, semi-real-time approach compared to its predecessor. Players will manage a party of three characters seamlessly entering combat when enemies are encountered. The system draws comparisons to Baldur's Gate 3 for its fluid, real-time battles.

Players can observe the battlefield and utilize a pause feature to assess strategies and character builds, which are influenced by different abilities and stat spreads. Each character fulfills a specific combat role, with examples including a tanky melee fighter and a companion specializing in crowd-controlling abilities like Brambles.

Companions are integral to combat, assisting in battles and allowing players to direct their targets, especially in challenging encounters. This slower-paced combat is designed to evoke a sense of nostalgia for classic RPGs, appealing to fans of the genre.
