Thats what i know:
every fightable stuff in this game have basically 4 differente defenses : green, yellow, blue and red.
When you use a combat move you open a certain defense color. the more you open that defense and hit that color, the more damage the foe will takes.
Basic example. if i keep using "Punch" (green attak) and open the green defense up to 40 and doing 10 damage, if i suddenly use "Left Hook" (blue attak) i wont do damage, but just start opening the foe blue defense.
so far, this basic knowledge serves me well. i can easly kill boar, wolverine, foxes and bats. But i still amiss a lot of other stuff...
why there are 10 slots when i can only use 5?
i can learn the same moves multiple times and somehow it get better...but how exactly?
i tried to kill a bear...lukly for me he aggor my horse or i will be dead by now, i keep hitting his armor over and over again up to 3000 damage...and only 3 real damage passes though.. how that work? Boar got armor, but after a while it stop working and they took damage...i though i need to "crack" they armor like they did to me but obviously i was wrong
Higher stat are of course better, more Strenght= more damage, better equipement = easier combat, More agility = faster Cd for me and slower cd for the enemy.... But how do i fight ...a pack of wolves?, how do i kill a moose in melee? or a bear? Can i kill alynx? what about an ant dungeon ?
my strategy so far consist in "spamming a move to open a defense"(like uppercut) and than "spamming a move to do damage" (like Quick barrage). and use "Artfull dodge" plus another defense(depending on the foe) to keep my self alive
I like to use Shields, so Shield Up stance is my main choice, but a japanese guy on youtube suggest me to use oak stance if i'm using a bow... so maybe there are more situation im not aware of (except chin up...that suck, and everybody on the web so far agreed with me on that)
I see many ppl fight on youtube, and they all use "take aim" to unleashing a devastating blow after a while. Or suggesting to use a spear cause you can poke animal from water.
i would like to move to bigger target...and possible players (i dont want to hunt them, i want to know how defende myself if getting hunted...whitch happen a couple of times...)
Can someone REALLY into combatt try to help me here? suggestions, tips, other stuff that i miss or understand it wrong? (dont just link me to the wiki page pls)
