Can perform a strong hit (after training a single skill early on) by holding the attack button, which causes a completely different longer animation with more forward motion in it and would cause some enemies to have an extra knockback or stagger reaction to getting hit by it.ģ-hit combo (expandable with training) that requires single, timed button presses to achieve maximum attack speed (mashing button punishes you with slower attack rate). Enemy can interrupt at any time though, so really only a single hit is 'safe'.

Mashing button works fine (no speed penalty). With enough training in specific weapon type, each hit can become a strong hit with longer wind-up by holding the button (via a pause part-way through the normal swing) that can stagger a human enemy's block and allow for a follow-up hit to connect cleanly.Īll hits are roughly the same speed and damage and the delay after the last hit of the combo is so short that it doesn't really feel much like a combo at all, more like you are just constantly swinging. Each successive hit in the combo does more damage. Once firsts hit connects, whether blocked or not, enemy generally won't be able to interrupt rest of the combo if timed correctly. Long delay after final hit in combo generally requires defending before can execute another combo. Risen 2 also feels like it has less because everything is pirate-themed and little in the way of magic, whereas Risen 3 mixes in some non-pirate-themed stuff.ģ-hit combo (expandable with training) that requires single, timed button presses to achieve maximum attack speed (mashing button punishes you with slower attack rate). My Opinion: All are roughly the same, though Risen 1 having both 1-handed and 2-handed variations, shields, and secondary effects on magic shots gives it the edge. Hammers (Oddly referred to as 'Slashing' - translation error?).Dirty Tricks (sand, salt, parrot, coconuts, fire oil.).NOTE: Not a weapon technically but Risen 1 also uniquely had Shields available. Crystal Magic Attacks (bullet, fire, ice).Warhammers (classified as 'Axe' by the game).Swords (1-handed, 1.5-handed, 2-handed).

Weapons unique to that game alone are in bold
