Magical Combat Mechanics

Types of Magic

In the game, there are three main types of magic, each linked to a different god and set of beliefs:

Radil (Aedra) – God: Main traits: Faith, Holy Light, Healing, and Lightning
Umbra (Mers) is a god with the following main traits: Soul, Life Leech, Fear, and Curse. Purgatory (Adir) is a god with the following main traits: Fire, Explosion, Burning, and Chaos.

Spell Mechanics

To use magic, you need a staff or a holy weapon, and it takes magical power.
You can charge spells to make them work better.
Staff attacks can also be used for melee strikes with charged magical hits.

Skills that are useful

School of Radiance: strong beam, healing, and shield spells that are great for defense.
School of Umbra: Takes away life, weakens enemies, and calls forth soul monsters; great for flow-based and control-based play.
School of Inferno: ranged AoE flame attacks that do a lot of damage; great for clearing maps and killing monsters.

Two-Handed Weapons Mechanics

Use weapons that are similar to each other, like two swords, two daggers, or a mix of weapons at the same time.
To activate, leave your off-hand empty, hold the weapon with both hands, press the toggle button between heavy attack and stance, and then activate special combo stance.

Good and Bad

Advantages of Two Daggers : Fast attack speed, quick bleeding, and strong combos
Disadvantages of Two Daggers: short range and limited posture suppression
Advantages of Two swords: medium speed, high frequency, long range, and moderate posture suppression
Disadvantages of Two swords: It's easy to miss and takes a lot of energy.
Advantages of Axe and Hammer : Heavy attacks do a lot of damage, quick posture break, great for fighting bosses
Disadvantages of Axe and Hammer: It takes a long time to start up and a long time to recover after rolling.

Useful Advice

To make two-handed weapons do more damage, use Soul Enchantment or DoT Stones.
To keep a steady flow of suppression, use two-handed jump attacks, sprint strikes, and rolling counterattacks.

Ranged Combat Mechanics

Mechanics

Fire bottles, knives, and ranged magic/bows are all examples of ranged weapons.
A lot of classes can use burning fire bottles, poison bottles, or bleeding knives to put enemies in strange states early on.

Useful Advice

Ranged attacks don't make stance animations, but they can cause conditions like poison or bleeding from a distance, which is great for boss fights.
You can use ghost souls to cast ranged spells and critical point attacks quickly and easily.
Poison Bottles, Fire Bottles, Shock Orbs, and Soul Rockets are some of the best weapons to use.
