Guide:Combat Tips and Tricks

This guide will give you tips and tricks to remember before battle. It is current as of SC 3.0 v1.

Preparation
Before the battle try to remember to perform the following steps.

Directly before battle

 * 1) Equip any upgrades you posses.
 * 2) Cook and eat any food items you posses.
 * 3) Heal at the fire.
 * 4) Pre-buff with Iron Will.
 * 5) Save your game.

Long-term

 * 1) Do the Tribal Succubus temptation event.  It gives you an important agility buff to help ensure you always attack first.
 * 2) Purchase Healing Herbs Mix from a tribal vendor for an improved healing consumable.
 * 3) Before progressing into an area, consider performing all the dungeons.
 * 4) Talk to the Witch/Witch Hunters to get their buffs after bosses.
 * 5) Acquire any meat or fish you come across.

Tactics

 * 1) Use Blue Thunder often, but intelligently.  This skill is incredibly powerful at the moment, and can simultaneously deal large amounts of damage and prevent oncoming damage.  (This only works if you have enough agility to move first, doing the prep steps above should assure this is the case for every battle.)
 * 2) Pay attention to tells for big attacks, these are the best time to use interrupts (like the aforementioned Blue Thunder) and blocks.
 * 3) Pay attention to who you're targeting, you can attack the relics of some bosses first to make the rest of the fight easier.
 * 4) Make sure you keep Iron Will up at all times.
