Combat

From Descendants of Darkness Wiki


Combat uses the Main HUD's species-specific attack button. Attack animations and names differ by species, while damage and attack rate remain consistent within the same age group.

Basics

  • Be within 1.5 metres of the target.
  • Click the main HUD button and choose your attack strength.
  • Expect counterattacks and stay mobile.

Both players may enter species-specific combat animations when their personal animation settings are enabled.

Followers and speed boosters

  • Followers stick to targets; attaching one to someone makes them trail you.
  • If they attach one to you, they will stay close—use speed boosters to break away.
  • Collisions from two followers can force close-quarters brawls.

Tips

  • Open with a quick hit, then reposition.
  • Use speed boosts after landing a hit to control distance.
  • Assume your opponent can mirror your moves; plan escapes before you engage.
