Combat is one of the most important and complex elements inKingdom Come: Deliverance.
Visit the training camp to learn the basics of combat.
Melee weapons
Kingdom Come: Deliveranceoffers multiple types of melee weapons.
Remember about a few important factors when you are choosing a weapon for your character.
Ranged weapons
Kingdom Come: Deliverancealso lets you use bows.
Sadly, these weapons are rather problematic because the game wants to be as realistic as possible.
This means that you don’t get any crosshairs whatsoever.
Practice a few times on a shooting range before you participate in real combat and learn arrows' trajectory.
Bows are really useful in battles during where you are accompanied by other characters.
This can give you more time to shoot before your foes focus their attention on you.
Armor
InKingdom Come: Deliveranceyou don’t wear only one layer of armor.
Instead, you havemultiple slots where you place different parts of armor(e.g.
breastplate, gloves, boots or head piece).
In general, armors in the game are divided into light, medium and heavy.
Your hero doesn’t have to wear pieces of gear only from one group.
If you, e.g.
Using this tactic means thatyou should spend more time in the training camp.
Facing multiple enemies
Combat inKingdom Come: Deliveranceworks best when you are facing a single opponent.
Sadly,some of the fights require you to defeat a few enemies.
This forces you to change your approach.
However,escaping from a battlefield won’t fail a questor end with a game over.
Of course, this can lower your chances to win but this isn’t always the case.
Pay attention to enemy archers when you are running away and disappear from their view.
you’re able to also use an option to surrender.
Important - you must surrender when you intend to initiate a meeting with the guard hunting on the protagonist.
Avoiding combat
Some situations can even let you avoid combat altogether.
Another way of avoiding confrontations is touse unique dialog lines connected to speech.
it’s possible for you to do that when you meet a (potential) hostile character.
The result is that you won’t be attacked by that NPC.
However, you won’t always succeed.
Besides increasing your speech, you should also remember to back up your game before each dangerous encounter.
When that fails then you should give a shot to use other available dialog lines.
