![]() ⠀⠀You have to always keep in mind that, no matter how many opponents you're facing (and towards the end, you'll face hordes of them), only ever one of them will target you at a time, plus the eventual Counter Attack of the guy you're currently whaling on. The more knowledge of the unit types you'll have and the easier it'll get. Those CA can not be interrupted so you have to be prepared to block or dodge them. ⠀⠀Enemies can now also Counter-Attack (CA) so fights are now (a bit) less of a lmb spam-fest some opponents will keep you on your toes with the eventuality of a light CA or a heavy CA. Against most regular light attacks this strategy will occasionally get you hit, and it's more consistent to just block. So a Northerner is combo attacking you and you don't have a weapon that can riposte? Dodge the first/second swing or block and then dodge, and hack away while he finishes his long slow combo. Dodging a LA can sometimes be beneficial. ⠀⠀Most Light Attacks can be riposted, whereas Heavy Attacks must be dodged. They must be dodged, they cannot be blocked. Heavy Attacks (HA) warn you with a red cue. Light Attacks (LA) warn you with a green cue to block, (and then riposte!). There are 2 types of attacks to watch out for: If you have trouble with Phalanx or Knights, they're probably the best choice. Your Block Breaks will also deal damage as you break an opponent's guard, and also deal more damage to armoured units. 2-Handers (2H) are slow but high damage, making them the best to tackle enemies with damage reduction and (marginally) less efficient against dodging enemies.They also have the huge advantage to let you use a shield, with its own defence rating and passive, and the ability to block (or even deflect) some ranged attacks. Sword & Board (S&B) weapons are the masters of riposte and especially efficient against Northerners who will combo Light Attacks (2 for the basic unit and 3 for Berserkers), all of which you can riposte with extra damage.With a lot of fast, low-damage attacks, they are somewhat useful against Greed opponents who have the ability to dodge attacks every once in a while, which won't mess with your dps too much. Dual Wielding (DW) weapons have low damage but good dps potential provided you're not fighting enemies with damage reduction such as any Steel unit or an Ogre.Weapon TypesYou now have 3 types of weapons :
