Fighting Styles
There are three fighting styles that players can select in the game. The style that a player chooses will influence their character's capability and skill in combat. as well as the player's own personal playstyle., Choose wisely.
Sword and Shield
This is a very useful combination that was used for centuries, combining the power of the weapon with the defensive ability of the shield. You can use any weapon that you can easily wield with one hand. With that added defense, you no longer have to dodge or parry from an attack, you can simply block it and counter-attack.
Dual Wielding
Dual wielding refers to using one-handed weapons in both hands. It is intended to be an option halfway between the damage output of two-handed weapons and the defensiveness of a shield and weapon combo.
Heavy Weapons
Large weapons include two-handed swords, battle axes, war hammers, massive clubs, and polearms. They are heavy and bulky, and if used improperly, can be quite dangerous to both the enemy and wielder itself. Because they have a good range and heft, they are deadly weapons. However, due to their weight and bulk, they are often slow and tiresome to wield.
Legacy
