Choosing Weapons, Shields, and Custom Armor for Your Playstyle
With over 15 unique weapons, two types of shields, and custom armor sets, you can set up your inventory for fast hit-and-run skirmishing, heavy frontline damage, or defensive tanking.
Selecting Your Melee Weapon Type
Match your main-hand weapon to the enemies in front of you and how you prefer to fight:
- Longswords and Greatswords: Choose these for dealing heavy damage up close. Greatswords reward deliberate, hard-hitting swings against giant targets, while longswords offer balanced close-quarters power.
- Daggers: Equip daggers when you want quick, rapid attacks that let you rush in, land fast hits, and step back before tough enemies counterattack.
- Maces: Carry a mace to deliver heavy blunt hits against sturdy ground fighters like Saurians or Hobgoblins.
Pairing Shields and Custom Armor
High damage alone will not keep you alive against boss-class beasts or fast packs of Hellhounds.
1. Equip a Shield: Place a normal shield or a magick shield in your off-hand slot so you can block incoming enemy strikes between your own attacks.
2. Collect Custom Armor Sets: Replace standard armor with the mod's custom armor sets to boost your protection during close-range melee trades.
3. Carry a Backup Option: Keep fast daggers or a magical staff on your hotbar alongside a heavy greatsword so you can switch tactics mid-fight without opening your inventory.
