Luckily, there are some things you can try to strengthen your combat skills in the game. In this Head Hunter: Complete Combat Guide, we will provide you with every piece of information you need to engage in combat.
Complete Combat Guide
In order to succeed in combat, you are going to need a good weapon. You should also make sure to learn the special combos and moves of your weapon of choice.
By pressing the J key, you can switch between the weapons and choose the main one for yourself. As you are going to see in the menu, each weapon will have different attacks.
It will change depending on whether you are Standing or Airborne. After choosing your main weapon, you should memorize the keybinds for each attack and make sure to practice as much as you can.

Useful Combat Tips
There are different methods when you are engaging in combat in the game. However, you are going to need to have heads to be able to get the items you need for those methods.
By collecting heads, you can get yourself a shield or parry. Other than that, you can collect potions around the map and use them to your own advantage.
These potions will be essential for you during your gameplay. You can find health elixirs, harmful elixirs, or XP elixirs while wandering around the map.
Tips & Tricks
We mentioned that you will need to learn how to use your weapon in order to be successful in combat. Now, let’s see what else you can do.
- Do not rush and try to go soft on the enemies you see on your way. If you act too soon and too fast, you might lose the battle. Just wait a little bit and let them approach you. Number out your odds first.
- Make sure to time your hits and enter the correct way. If you do not do this, you will never know if you get jumped, and you could lose the combat at any point.
- A good way to increase your range is by using the Down Slam attack. It is a free combo, and it is always a good idea to use free combos in the game.
- Always save your dash in case you need to escape from your enemy.
- Do not spam dodge all the time. Using dodge too much might make you lose yourself, and it might confuse you during combat.
