Day 4 and we are 80% funded, how amazing is that!! Without you, all DOLMEN wouldn’t be moving forward. Today we talk about the melee combat in DOLMEN:
Light Attack
- Light attacks use your stamina slower than using a heavy attack;
- They are great dealing fast amounts of damage before moving away from your target and hitting them again;
- Whilst this may be a good tactic early game you will find yourself struggling if you do not master the use and cost of your attacks, running out of stamina because you have used it all on the burst of attacks will cost you if you need to suddenly dodge or fall back.
Heavy Attack
- Heavy attacks cost more stamina and deal more damage;
- Heavy attacks are great for a big chunk of damage in a small window but are slow to land so will require you to master the timing and use of them;
- Heavy attacks also offer the added bonus of being able to stagger certain enemies allowing you to land a few quick attacks.
Blocking
- Your first line of defense;
- Blocking will allow you mitigate a certain amount of damage, ideal for those ranged encounters or when surrounded;
- Note that whilst blocking will mitigate the damage you will still receive damage and use your stamina for every hit received.;
- A well-timed block will also allow you to briefly stun certain enemies opening up an attack window for you to utilize.
Enhanced Melee
- Those are your basics for melee combat now we turn to utilising energy mode in combat;
- Using energy mode will not only unlock your reactor but will also unlock your melee weapons perk;
- Every melee weapon comes with a perk that requires energy mode to be active;
- For the Zoan Axe (starting weapon) this unlock Shrapnel allowing you cause 25% of the damage caused to your target to a nearby target as well;
- We will delve deeper in energy mode on another update. We would also like to ask a favor of you all, that is to please add DOLMEN to your wishlist on steam!! That is all today, Once again from everyone here at Team DOLMEN, Thank you!
