I’m like 8 hours in and all I’ve been doing is climbing things, skirting little ledges around buildings to see if I can get higher, and constantly using ping/distract on things on the ground.
I don’t know why. I’ve only found 2 places where I could break a window with a bat and sneak into a building, most floors and buildings seem only for show with no real interior. But… since I know breakable windows and secret entrances and shit exists I can’t stop looking for it.
I’m only level 7, but climbing high and lighting everyone on fire with technomagic is my kind of great combat. I was really surprised to find out that actually lighting people on fire until they run out of health somehow doesn’t count as killing them and they just go “downed”… so I can get the bonus from some quests for not killing, then go back with a katana and dice them up. <3
Full ninja builds are a blast. I went pure swords and throwing knives. Double jump + air dash along with Shinobi sprint and the auto cloaking perk while crouch sprinting + the relic perk that breaks combat when you cloak makes you a ridiculously mobile hit and run machine. Your mitigation by the end when mid air is guaranteed at 90% strength, so you’re taking nearly no damage as you leap into combat. Pop your sandy, slice and dice, Shinobi sprint back out. It almost trivializes a lot of the game, but it’s some of the most fun I’ve had in a combat game in a long time.
Or if you prefer guns, all that mid air mitigation and air dashing + air kerenzikov is deadly.
