ASSASSINS CREED : SHADOWS

• Utilize the charged attacks to stun the enemies. Posture attacks (light and heavy charged attacks) can be used while moving, dodging, and are suitable for both armored and non-armored enemies. When timed right, they can shorten the length of any fight. The light posture attack is safer to use compared to the heavy posture attack, as it is faster and easier to pull off.

​​

• While parrying enemy attacks, be aware that at times the enemies tend to attack more than 3 times. From what I have observed, while playing as Naoe, especially in the early game, the spear-using enemies are much tougher opponents as opposed to the sword users. That is because they have a wide range and high reach due to the spear and are more aggressive. When facing them, be alert to parry and dodge more.

​​

• In the early game, try to explore more and focus on getting more synchronizations. This will enable you to fast-travel the entire starting map more easily.

​​

• While you can easily find and restore healing items when defeating enemies at times and while clearing small enemy camps in the open world, it is better to buy them from merchants whenever you can, so that you are prepared for any sudden/surprising encounters.

• Regarding the various side activities, I suggest farming for knowledge points is essential, as it is the only way to unlock more skills in various skill trees, since even if you have points to spare, you will not be able to after a certain limit, unless you get more knowledge points.
