![]() ![]() ![]() ⠀⠀You can unleash your WA when you have filled your combo requirements. Beware of Phalanx units initiating a LA while you are doing a bash, because you won't interrupt them ! Always be ready to block when fighting those. BB are used to break an enemy's guard - thus stunning him (Phalanx or basic Steel units) - or his armor (Captain of Steel, Knight of Steel, Black Knight, Necromancer, Champion of Frost, Corrupted Abomination and so on.). ⠀⠀In your arsenal of moves, you also have Block Breaks (BB) and Weapon Ability (WA). This means the only situations when you are attacked by two opponents at the same time is of your own doing and you should sometimes switch target during the fight to reduce the risk of proc'ing a CA. ⠀⠀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.Hand of Fate 2 will release on PC, PS4, and Xbox One on November 7.Weapon TypesYou now have 3 types of weapons : If you haven't played Hand of Fate but download all the free Xbox Live Games with Gold, there's a good chance it is sitting on your hard drive - it was free in February 2016. Based on this footage (and having played the game myself, albeit a year ago), this sequel seems to be an improvement. The first game was great, but the combat could be a bit janky. She's a tank-style fighter, with a high luck stat outside of combat. This new trailer for Hand of Fate 2 reveals the game's release date - November 7 - and shows the player picking up a weapon card during the tabletop portion of the game that their warrior can then use during combat.ĭevelopers Defiant Development also released a few screenshots to show off Ariadne of Stiegal, a newly revealed playable character. This is the roguelike element of the game sometimes your character will be flung into battle, which, in the first game, was designed around a system similar to the Batman: Arkham games. Hand of Fate 2 is played partly at a desk as a mysterious man places cards before you and you navigate forward with dice rolls and conversation choices, like an intense one-on-one RPG session. Hand of Fate was a fantastic, slightly under-the-radar mix of combat and rougelike storytelling, and now we're just a month out from what looks like a bigger, better sequel. ![]()
