Village of Khalim Tips
|
|
Use the Shield Charge as an Offensive and Mobility Tool
Using Shield Charge after eviscerating your enemies lets you quickly move on to the next target instantly, making the combat extremely fast paced.
A well-timed Shield Charge combo could clear out the battlefield in seconds, making this ability handy for immediate crowd control.
Use the Power Gauntlet to Recover Bullets
The Power Gauntlet is useful for moments when using your ammo isn't an option. On top of being a renewable resource, slaying enemies with the Power Gauntlet lets you recover ammo when needed.
Use the three-hit melee combo to rip an enemy into pieces! Keep in mind that it needs all three melee charges to perform the combo.
Execute or Use Glory Strikes on Elite Enemies to Defeat Them Fast
Make use of executions and Glory Strikes when prompted with the purple cue to instantly dispose of foes. This ability allows the Slayer to keep a brutal pressure over his enemies.
Enemies slain by Executions drop precious Health for a quick recovery in the battlefield.
Practice Parrying Green Projectiles
After heavy enemy encounters, handling their projectiles will start getting harder and harder. Luckily, parrying away green projectiles will make it work towards your favor. Keep in mind that this also applies to melee strikes marked green!
Parry the green projectiles to deal substantial damage back to its source, possibly staggering them and leaving them open for more brutal attacks!
Use the Rail Spike Shredder for Single Target
When the slow kick of the combat shotgun is not enough for a tough enemy on the battlefield, take advantage of the Rail Spike Shredder to burst it down to the ground. This weapon is best used for fighting a single enemy as you could focus your shots on them.
