you might’t always rely on stealth inAssassin’s Creed: Odyssey.
There are situations where facing your enemies in a regular fight is mandatory.
Also, the game uses red color to mark enemies that are at a higher level than yours.
Equipment
Level and stats of your itemsare also important in your preparations for a fight.
Your attacks may be too weak while your enemies can hit you really hard.
attempt to have all the slots equipped with items that are at your current level or close to it.
The difference in levels shouldn’t be higher than 2-3.All items can be upgraded at a blacksmith.
However, this process costs a lot and it requires you to own the right materials.
You should upgrade only the most important items (e.g.
your main weapon) while the rest should be replaced with new gear.
Types of weapons
Next is yourweapon choice.
Thanks to them you’re able to react faster to your enemy’s movements.
Also, they give you a better chance at damaging your opponents.
Powerful and slow weapons are great for attacking larger and better armored enemies.
This ability gives you a new slot in your inventory window.
From now on you’re able to switch your weapons with just one button.
Choose one fast and one slow weapon and switch between them accordingly to your needs.
Your character can carefully aim at enemies' weak spots or use abilities that grant you extra damage.
you are waiting for your health bar to regenerate).
Light and heavy attack
Light and heavy attacksare the two basics types of attacks in the game.
you’ve got the option to combine them into simple combos, i.e.
start with one or two heavy attacks and then perform a few light swings.
Adjust your combos to the current enemies.
This works only on enemies who use small or medium sized shields.
you could’t break through large shields (instead, you could rely on, i.e.
parrying described below).
Thanks to that you will be able to avoid their attacks and use yours with greater precision.
Do that when, i.e.
an enemy on which you are currently locked has moved away.
Dodgesare very important inAssassin’s Creed: Odyssey-this is the most basic way of keeping your character alive.
Regular dodges are enough for the majority of the fights.
Remember that you might also perform a roll by holding the dodge button.
Use this move when you notice that, i.e.
an enemy is about to use a powerful attack (a wide swing or a charge).
However, dodges aren’t the only way in which you might defend yourself.
Your character can alsoparry.
Dodging and parrying may not be enough when you are facingarchers.
Some enemies can also switch their weapons during a fight.
Stay close to them if you don’t want them to use bows.
Don’t attempt to parry,the only solution is to dodge.
The frequency of these unblockable attacks depends on how “elite” your enemy is.
All in all, you should always be prepared to use a dodge.
One charged section of the adrenaline bar gives you one use of an active ability.
The adrenaline is charged with every successful hit.
The ability’s another advantage is thatit can work even on enemies who use shields.
The only thing you have to worry about is to aim it carefully.
Sparta Kickis another great ability -itpushes enemies backand deals more Warrior damage.
This ability works best when anenemy is standing near, i.e.
Be careful to not miss so you won’t lose an adrenaline charge.
The ability will only push that enemy backward.
The enemy will stay with you on the same rooftop/ledge.
Sparta Kick gets another usage in the later parts of the game.
it’s possible for you to use it tostun and recruit enemies.
Use it when your enemy has only a little bit of health left to stun them.
use your bow).
Even a stronger enemy can die immediately due to fall damage.
Of course, that is not all.
This means that you have to pay close attention to your pieces of equipment.
Also, you will have to use a lot of dodges, parrying and other defensive abilities.
Luckily, there are three alternate ways of replenishing health.
The second way is to unlockSecond Windactive skill (you must be at level 5 or higher).
It allows you tospend adrenaline points on regenerating health.
On the easiest difficulty, you will replenish 1/4 of your health.
Map this skill to one of your buttons and use it when your character receives serious wounds.
The third method is torun away and hide somewhere safe.
You don’t have to leave your current location (i.e.
The health bar will start regenerating as soon as you lose your pursuers.
After that you could go back to the fight.
In the meantime, your enemies won’t replenish their health or respawn.
Allies on a battlefield
Allies can accompany you during certain battles, mainly duringConquestfights.
You have a higher chance that they won’t dodge your attack or turn around to block it.
Remember to be on the move.
Depleting it fails the fight.
Conquest battles are described more broadly on one of the separate pages of this guide.
