Mastering these techniques will significantly improve your combat effectiveness:
- Push-Attack: Combine a push (Right Click) with a light attack (Left Click) for a powerful, often wide-sweeping attack that can stagger multiple enemies. Excellent for crowd control.
- Block-Cancel: Block an incoming attack, then immediately cancel the block into a dodge or attack to maintain momentum and avoid follow-up hits.
- Stamina Management: Don't just sprint everywhere. Conserve stamina for blocking, pushing, and dodging, especially when engaging elites or bosses.
- Weapon Special Actions: Many weapons have unique special actions (e.g., Chainsword rev, Power Sword activate). Learn and use these for maximum impact.
- Sliding: Use Crouch while sprinting to slide. This can be used to quickly traverse open areas, dodge attacks, or get into cover.
Practice these in the training grounds until they become second nature.
