How to Play Crowd Control Bene Gesserit
|
|
Combo Stuns
Maximize your stun durations on enemies by doing the following combo:
- Initiate fights with Weirding Step, ideally catching enemies off guard.
- Use Stop to disable an enemy.
- Weave in a heavy attack with your short blade to maximize damage.
- Quickly use Shigawire Claw for one last short stun and weave in one more heavy attack.
Isolate Fights
Though this build excels in melee combat, you can easily get overwhelmed when fighting multiple enemies at once. Use the terrain and skills such as Stop to take on enemies one at a time.
Though the Stop Skill can be effective, it also does not last very long, so use Shigawire Claw to retreat when needed!
