A slightly more dangerous variation of the previous species. The main thing is not to forget to switch between enemies. They rarely block blows, so you can safely unleash a hail of blows on them first. Usually they are found together or three, or they are part of a squad with stronger opponents. But after two uses in a row, you will have to wait for the restoration of the Phoenix's stamina. After that, you can deal a lot of damage to several enemies at once, stun them faster or knock down their attacks with the help of the Phosphorus companion bird. And there are no superfluous ones among them - it is worth opening at least basic levels for everyone. Gifts of the Gods greatly increase effectiveness in combat.Therefore, in the first hours of the game, you should not really count on long-range combat - the bow will most likely come in handy for solving puzzles. But with a sword in 5 seconds, you can manage to inflict a whole combination of blows, and shoot from a bow only once (there are also fast shots, but they do little damage). The indicator of damage per hit for a sword and a bow is approximately the same at each of the weapon pumping levels. The bow is revealed only towards the end of the game.

The pumping works immediately on all types of weapons of the same category. But you can increase the damage from a sword, ax or bow at the forge in the Hall of the Gods (a safe hub for the player). There is no better or worse weapon in the game - the new blades differ only in appearance and small bonuses. The growth is rather slow, but it is still there. The more swings with the sword or ax of the Phoenix reach the target, the more damage each next blow deals. Or get rid of small opponents at the edges while the rest turned away. It is so good to eliminate single targets by hiding in the bushes behind them. And if you dodge at the last moment, then time will slow down by a few seconds, and you yourself can make several attacks from the side or from behind, while the enemy is vulnerable. In addition, dodges save you from unblockable attacks, in front of which the enemy flashes red. This is especially useful when you are surrounded. You can not only block the enemy's attack, but also dodge it with a dash to the side.

Dodging is sometimes even more useful than parrying.

However, be careful - red-lit attacks cannot be parried.

For a successful parry, you need to get into timing after the opponent's swing and before the strike. This will help you block attacks in time with parry, which will also speed up the stunning of the enemy. If you are fighting with only one opponent, then you can take your time and study his behavior in battle. Parrying is especially useful in duels.In addition to attacks with an ax, ideal blocks (parries) and some of the Gifts of the Gods help to stun the enemy. Therefore, you need to try to inflict more blows with an ax at the right moment in order to fill the stun bar (blue bar under health points). It will be too long and risky to “pick” them with ordinary attacks. The game often features large monsters or soldiers perverted by Typhon (the main antagonist) with a large number of health points. Stun is the main way to defeat a powerful enemy.And with an ax, you can hook several surrounded enemies at once or end combinations with them in order to quickly stun the enemy, and then finish off. He can carry out combinations of 4 hits, with a particularly strong last one. The sword is well suited for intercepting the initiative when the enemy misses or is stunned. The sword is for quick strikes, the ax is for the strong.Therefore, you need to try to avoid taking damage using dashes (dodges), parries (blocks) or oncoming attacks with the Gifts of the Gods.
