Beating the first cuman

[Skree]

As per topic. The first cuman, during the beginning, when you flee for your life. Is there any way to beat him? he seems to have max stats, he does counters, combos, he seems like a maxed character and you simply don't have the skills to be able to win.

Anyone killed him? how?

You couldn't even kill a stick 5 minutes earlier.

How do you expect to kill a Cuman?

Run means run. So run.

[Biggus_Dikkus]

you will kill whole horde of them later

you can abuse the game mechanics, but that is lame (I didn't do it either) so I won't tell you how...

Yes, you can kill him, but there's 14 more coming, so unless you kill all of them too there's not too much point.

You can kill all of them as well and then save Theresa and kill the 3 Cumen assaulting her.

It's easy to get a full suit of armor and weapons inside of Skalitz before the attack even begins, as well as +2 to your Vitality, +2 to your Charisma, and +1-2 to your Strength on top of what you gain for the multiple fights inside the tutorial, but that requires you doing some not-so-nice things to the Skalitz guards.
