Hey I really like the game so far, but I’m struggling to get the hang of the melee/physical  combat. 

Some of the grievances I feel are that sometimes my attacks don’t connect and sometimes they hit through my shield. I expect to be able to handle myself well with a single goblin, but sometimes even at 80 Stamina I get combo’d harder than a at a Smash Tournament and die from exhaustion.

Ive tried standing against a wall in a narrow corridor, to shield and swing which was okay. And I liked using the bow and slowing them but then I get wrecked if I don’t kill them quickly. ;(

I think the best way (and most fun) I found was grind some money then hit them with a frag mines and run. Super satisfying to wipe out a whole camp with a bunch of bombs 😎

ps: I turn using alt but I mainly use the arrows because I want to run too, but that causes me to  swing too late or turn and move instead of just turning…

Any tips are greatly appreciated! I gotta git gud fast

For ATK melee builds 


Chokepoints, chokepoints, chokepoints. 
If you can, make sure only one opponent can get to you at a time, git gud at blocking then counterattacking. 

If you are out in the open try running around and separating the enemies so you can pick them off one at a time 

Recognize different enemies. Gobbos reposition then attack. Hobos will chase you if your back is turned, etc. Spear guys will stand in one place and attack constantly but can hit 2 squares over. 

Once you get up to like 20 ATK you can start mercing people with dagger/sword combo or taking people on in the open without a shield. 

Best of luck my guy
