Combat Challenge 1

Walkthrough

    Focus on defeating 15 enemies within the 2-minute time limit.

  2. 2
    Enemies have less health than in the previous challenge.

  2. 2
    Focus on building your Heat gauge by attacking normal enemies.

    If a Ninja is in range, use a heavy attack to knock them down and land hits.
  5. 5
    Grab the armored enemy, bring them to the railing, and use a Heat Action to throw them into the pit, instantly defeating them. This is the priority due to their high health.
  6. 6
    Club enemies are also good candidates for being thrown off the railing.
  7. 7
    Other normal enemies and Ninjas can be defeated with combos.
Tips
  • The Giant Swing Heat Action can damage multiple enemies if used after knocking an enemy down.

    All enemies are equipped with guns and can be defeated with three to four normal hits.

  4. 4
    If your Heat gauge is sufficient, use a Heat Action that quickly closes in on a ranged enemy.
