The combat skill system is a new system in Dark Souls 3. Because of this system, the combat in Dark Souls 3 is completely different from that in Dark Souls 2. There are two different factions of combat skills, and different factions also have different way of fighting.
XBOX controller players: LT+RT or LT+RB .
PS controller players: L2+R2 or L2+R1 .
PC keyboard players: shield block button + heavy attack button (the attack button that can charge power)
ps: The combat skills in the game are relatively complex, we will explain them in detail below.
1. Taking PC keyboard and mouse as an example, first of all, combat skills are related to the equipment used.
2. In most cases, when holding different equipment in both hands , pressing " ctrl " or " shift+left mouse button " will trigger the left-hand combat skill .
3. To trigger right-hand combat skills , you need to dual-wield weapons or release your left hand , and then press " ctrl " or " shift+left mouse button "
4. In addition, the combat skills of some equipment cannot be directly released by pressing a single button .
5. For example, when preparing to attack with a straight sword combat skill, you need to hold down the " ctrl " key in the dual-wielding state to enter the ready state. After observing that the character is ready , press the " left mouse button " to use the light combat skill, and press " shift+mouse" " Left click " is a heavy combat skill.
6. For the combat skill lunge of Lothricht's great sword, you need to " hold down ctrl " or " hold shift+right mouse button " first, wait for the character to assume the lunge posture , and then press " left mouse button " to trigger it.
7. The Exile's broadsword's roundhouse chop is the same as the arrow step. You need to press the posture first, and then left-click to trigger the combat skill.
8. In addition, the battle cry combat skill (ctrl) will change the way of heavy attack after use. "Shift + left mouse button" is a one-stage heavy attack, and "hold shift + left mouse button" is a two-stage heavy attack.
