There are still about 2 weeks to go before the release of FromSoftware's new action RPG, Eldon's Ring of Law. Directed by Hidetaka Miyazaki, the developer of the Dark Souls series, Bloodborne Curse, and Only Wolf: Shadow Dead Twice, this work will be the largest complete new work ThatSoftware has ever devoted to. This article will focus on the game's combat system and give you a detailed introduction to the charm of Eldon's Ring of Law.

The most basic form of combat in this game is to use weapons to attack. In addition to normal attacks, players can also use different attack methods such as heavy attacks, charge attacks, jump attacks, and dual-wielding attacks depending on the weapons they hold. In addition, the posture is also a key element of the combat system of this game, how to defeat the enemy's posture and make it into an unprepared state will be the top priority of victory.

Attack the enemy while dodging

Dodging enemy attacks is a basic operation in combat, and the basic dodging action is divided into rolling in any direction, taking a small step backwards in an instant, raising a shield or two-handed weapon to block. Among them, the anti-reaction system that releases a powerful counterattack immediately after defending against the enemy's attack is particularly important. After successfully defending the enemy, you can defeat the enemy's posture and then use the "fatal blow" that can cause huge damage. Since it takes a certain learning cost to grasp the timing of launching the anti-reaction, it is recommended that everyone in the game is best to adapt to the anti-reaction feel as soon as possible. It is worth mentioning that since the avoidance action requires energy to be cast, and when the energy is exhausted, the character will have a huge stiffness, so please pay attention.

Stealth mechanisms that increase the diversity of strategies

When lowering your body and sneaking around, it will be harder for enemies to detect your presence. If you can get close to an enemy without being detected, you can deliver a fatal blow directly at them, reducing the number of enemies or avoiding meaningless battles. When the character is in the grass, the stealth effect is also enhanced, so you can pay more attention to the presence of grass nearby when you are adventurous. When challenging enemy strongholds or dungeons with more dead ends, it is an effective strategy to use stealth to approach the enemy to give them a fatal blow.

Use ride attacks to change the tide of battle

While riding a spirit horse, the player will be able to use a ride attack and spawn different moves depending on the weapon they are holding. When performing a ride attack, the player can use a variety of strategies that are completely different from ground combat, such as using the high mobility of the spirit horse to close the distance with the enemy in one breath, or riding the spirit horse to break into the enemy position and slash wantonly. The use of charge attacks and jump attacks can shoot down the riding enemy off the horse, and if you are knocked off the horse while riding, it will also show a big flaw, so be sure to flexibly choose the strategy you want to use according to the battlefield situation.

Rich combat elements

In order to become the king of Eldon, the protagonist of the "Narrow Lands" needs to face many dangerous enemies. Whether or not to break through each vicious battle depends largely on whether the player can grasp enough intelligence in advance. The following will give you a detailed description of the notable elements of combat.

Ace in battle "Combat Skills"

Each weapon has a special skill known as a "combat skill", which has effects ranging from attack and defense to regeneration and enhancement. Although it takes FP to use, at critical moments, the skill becomes the ace in the player's hand. The biggest feature of this combat technology system is the ability to replace the weapon's initial combat skills or attributes with items called "War Ash". Therefore, players can combine different combat techniques and ashes entirely according to their own ideas in the game.

Further expand strategic magic and prayer

Using magic and prayer, players can cast extraordinary spells that are completely different from weapon attacks. Consume FP to unleash magic and prayers that can cast a variety of effects such as attacks, restores, assists, and more. After obtaining magic and prayers, the player needs to "memorize" them with blessings before releasing the corresponding magic or prayers by equipping them with a staff or seal. In addition to the damage effect, some magic and prayers can also attach abnormal states to enemies, or temporarily reduce the enemy's attack power, which may be effective in times of danger. By matching magic and prayer on its own, the game's strategy will be further enhanced.

Summon reliable spiritual companions

In the game, if you want to summon a spirit that can fight alongside the protagonist, you need two conditions. The first is the ashes necessary for the summoning, and the second is that it must be moved to the vicinity of the Soul Tablet (the symbol of the inscription will appear on the screen after entering the range). Spirits will automatically attack when summoned, and will be lifted when their health reaches zero or leaves the range covered by the inscription symbol. In addition to being able to summon spirits with different combat assistance abilities, some spirits can also play a miraculous role in attracting the attention of the enemy and exposing them to flaws.
