Assassin’s Creed Combat Tips
Gamers are always looking for tips on how to improve their skills. In this post I wanted to give you a couple of Assassin’s Creed combat tips to help you become the ultimate assassin.
Hidden blade counters - If u counter while using the hidden blade you will get an instant kill against any target. This works wonders against those annoying guards.
Quick attacks and slow attacks - If you attack a guard when you are closer to him than you will perform a faster attack than if you had attacked from farther away. The trick is to sneak up on a guard to get that quick strike.
Power attack - If you make a powerful attack (hold attack button) from far away than your attack will be stronger and might break through the defense of a common guard. It has a higher chance of hitting.
Side dodge - This is a fun tip if you don’t like just standing there taking a beating. You can dodge to the sides and not just backwards. I think it may be slightly faster when attacking.
If you have any cool combat tips, please be sure to comment on this post and share!

Two ways to kill rooftop archers:
1) Throwing knives allow you to remove archers that threaten access to view points and assassination targets. Also, their bodies sometimes fall of the edge, creating a distraction.

2) Run towards the guard with the hidden blade equipped. When close, hit the attack button and he’ll leap through the air, driving the blade into their neck and instantly killing them.
Archers are always isolated, so no one is wiser, plus it saves a throwing knife.

I found out a useful way to nab an easy counter-attack if you aren’t as watchful when trying to catch the gaurds swinging at you. Take a swing at the gaurds then hold the block button down. (I have it for 360 so it’s RT for me) Continue to attack the gaurds, and notice that even though the block button is being held down, you aren’t stopping your attacks. However, when a gaurd does attempt to attack you may still counter-attack, as long as you keep attacking relentlessly. This may not work all of the time because the gaurds can still attack in between your strikes.
If you didn’t quite get the combination then just attack once, then hold block and keep attacking to get a cheap counter.
