Mechanics

Light attacks are fast M1 strikes performed with Weapons. They form the basic foundation of most combat interactions and are ideal for safely poking enemies or finishing low-health targets.

Heavy attacks are slower but stronger M1 strikes performed with Weapons. They have longer wind-up times but deal noticeably higher damage and are best used when enemies are staggered, unaware, or locked in an animation.

Players have a limited pool of stamina that is consumed when dashing, sprinting during combat, and blocking. Managing stamina is crucial—running out at the wrong time can leave you unable to dodge or defend.

Players enter combat after taking damage or attacking an enemy. While in combat, stamina drains faster when dashing or sprinting, and certain effects may only apply while you are flagged as "in combat".

Players can block to lessen incoming damage. If the block is timed precisely as a hit lands, it becomes a parry, briefly stunning the enemy and opening them up for a punish or heavy counter-attack.
