Anyone else finding the combat insanely difficult?

[killedinaction47]

Even on Easy setting?

[Inardesco]

Nope

Its nothing in comparison to Dark Souls which has more unforgiving combat.

[killedinaction47]

yeah... but I'm not playing Dark Souls.

[Inardesco]

Which means combat is easy af

[killedinaction47]

Ecept it isn't.

Come back after 30 hours of playing then ask. Its easily the best combact ive played in a long time. Very easy to perry and dodge, just keep an eye out for the flashing white light that flashes before a enemy attack. Easy peasy.

Over 400 hours playing AC so I know the combat system. That's not it.

Sometimes it can be difficult. But it's mostly when you are infiltrating a base and they call in 4 mercenaries frome behind, without you realizing it

[Inardesco]

So y do you suck at it then? Oh...thats right...its not the classica AC combat.

Which means you shouldnt play it like any of the older AC games.

Seriously, git gud.

I've only got roughly 7 hrs in so far but I can still offer some advice. Playing on hard mode right now, and def died once or twice but still, these are a few rules I use in most games where there's multiple enemies trying to slice me apart.

- Fighting a group can be difficult, especially when there's one or two enemy archers slowly working away at your health. Try to lead the group away from, or keep some kind of object between you and them.
- Take your time. Trying to get that one last hit to lessen the enemies numbers isn't always the best thing to do.
- DODGE OFTEN!! All the time, every direction. Hit-dodge-dodge....hit-hit-hit-dodge lol that kind of thing.
- If your health falls below 25% or so and its not looking good, try to high-tail it outta there. Put a little distance between you and the enemy, then crouch and see if you can hide from them in some bushes or something. This will trigger your health regeneration and also give you a chance to either make a new plan, or take out a few stealthily.

That's all I can think of right now, hope that helps you out at least a little. Good luck.

(Oh and don't forget to use your eagle to spot as many enemies beforehand as possible)

No he's right. The combat is pretty easy, you need to work on it some more.

No, feels the same as playing Witcher 3. I mean early on it was frustrating at least against Mercs but only because I play on Nightmare from the start and they are damage sponges that at the time would gang up on you and they one/two hit you.

You gotta embrace the cheese, the cheese!

Once you get shield disarm, increased damage, health, and an arrow damage ability the game gets pretty easy.

[Dweller Beyond the Threshold]

Not really. It only gets hard when you play a glass-cannon build on nightmare. I've tried that by aggroing an entire base to fight me. while it's hard and very easy to die, it's still completely doable . If you play on hard or below the combat really isn't difficult. You just got to learn to parry and/or dodge, evaluate the situation, and that's about it.
