Master Fast Weapon Combat for Mobility
Fast Weapons vs Heavy Weapons
Fast weapons provide quick, short dashes instead of long lunges. This makes them ideal for hit-and-run tactics and maintaining mobility during extended fights. You'll still consume lunge charges, but recover them faster through repeated engagements.
Combat Strategy with Fast Weapons
1. Use short bursts: Fast weapon lunges cover less distance, so position yourself closer to enemies before attacking.
2. Chain multiple hits: Because fast weapons don't throw you as far, you can quickly follow up with another swing without repositioning.
3. Maintain momentum: The freeze effect still applies, but releases less dramatic knockback. Use this to keep enemies staggered rather than separated.
4. Kite effectively: The shorter dash lets you attack and retreat in quick succession, perfect for avoiding heavy enemy attacks.
5. Manage your charges: Fast weapons let you attack more frequently, so your lunge charges deplete quickly. Space out your attacks to let them refill.
Tactical Advantage
Fast weapons excel in confined spaces where heavy weapons' long lunges would be wasted. Use them in caves or tight corridors where mobility matters more than raw knockback distance.
