How to Fight Multiple Enemies in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

by

In the gameplay structure of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, battles play a significant role, and much of Henry’s time spent exploring Trosky and Kuttenberg will be dedicated to engaging in combat with various adversaries using an array of medieval weapons.

In a fair one-on-one battle, he can certainly hold his own, but things quickly turn challenging when he’s suddenly surrounded by adversaries, each targeting him ruthlessly. However, fear not, for there are strategies to cope under pressure. Here are some essential tactics to bear in mind when engaging multiple foes in the upcoming KCD 2.

This version aims to convey the same meaning while using more straightforward and easier-to-read language, focusing on a clear and concise structure for improved readability.

Use Mutt

A 1v5 is More Difficult Than a 2v5

In Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, the greatest challenge when battling a horde of adversaries is defending against simultaneous assaults from various directions. If Henry finds himself in a precarious situation, his faithful companion Mutt could tip the scales between triumph and disaster. He has an uncanny ability to divert enemies’ attention, making them focus on him rather than Henry. This distraction often significantly lessens the stress Henry faces during combat.

Max Out FOV

Widen The Field Of View To Gauge The State of the Fight

In the Game Settings, players have the ability to boost their field of view (FOV) from a limited 90 degrees up to 110 degrees. One significant challenge encountered when engaging multiple foes in ‘Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2’ is that they can quickly encircle you, making it challenging to determine their movements on the battlefield. A wider FOV offers more information, which becomes vital for discerning the best positioning in any given circumstance, as it aids in understanding the overall situation better.

Pay Attention To Positioning

Try To Keep All Enemies in Vision

In the game KCD 2, opponents advance cautiously rather than charging at you all at once. This gives you an opportunity, when dealing with multiple adversaries, to maintain a steady retreat while ensuring they remain within your line of sight. Proper positioning is crucial in these battles as damage can only be avoided if the enemies don’t manage to surround you. Henry has the ability to block and parry attacks from one direction only.

Pick Off Weaker Targets First

Armorless, Shieldless Enemies Should Be The First Casualties Of Battle

In my gaming experience, taking down a scruffy bandit is a walk in the park compared to going up against an armored knight hiding behind a tower shield. Yet, don’t be fooled by their appearances – both can pose significant threats to Henry if given the chance. Understanding which foes can be quickly dispatched and which ones require more strategy is crucial for managing the battlefield effectively. However, this doesn’t mean charging headfirst into a fight with the first unarmored opponent you encounter. Instead, it’s about dodging attacks, parrying skillfully, and positioning Henry tactically so he can take out weaker enemies without getting hit by the rest of the combatants.

Use Master Strikes

Take Down Enemies in a Single Swing

A crucial factor in defeating numerous opponents is mastering the skill to execute powerful Master Strikes when appropriate. These strikes usually cannot be blocked, giving you a straightforward opportunity to strike an enemy directly. Leveraging Master Strikes helps you break free from the repetitive pattern of parry-attack-parry-attack in combat, which can leave you vulnerable to being overwhelmed by more enemies.

Use Terrain to Your Advantage

Narrow Passages Are Henry’s Friends

An effective strategy to dodge overwhelming attacks and transform a 1 vs 10 battle into ten separate encounters is by utilizing environmental features to make enemies approach Henry one by one in KCD 2. Since NPCs cannot pass through each other, if you’re stationed at the top of a narrow staircase with five pursuers, they can only assault Henry sequentially. You can also employ obstacles like massive tree trunks, castle walls, and even fellow NPCs as barriers against archers targeting you from a distance.

Eliminate Enemies From Range

Use Archery To Whittle Down The Opposition

In a scenario where you’re confronting a group of bandits, it’s often wise to begin by drawing your long-range weapon such as a bow or crossbow. This tactic allows you to eliminate several enemies from afar even before the combat properly starts, making it easier to deal with the remaining opponents.
