Terrain is one of the only forms of damage negation in Darkfall Online. Learning to use it effectively in order to heal or otherwise can really change the outcome of any fight. If you use terrain to get a few heals off and your opponent stays offensive but can’t get around the terrain, your stats will be higher than theirs. Situations such as these do more for you than you know, such as make the opponent worry. Learn to use terrain and you’ll be among the top competitors in Darkfall Online!

Learn to evade, it wont make aiming easier but you will last much longer in any engagement. Constantly sprinting and rarely jumping, if you make 90 and 180 degree turns with your mouse as fast as possible it will be extremely difficult to hit you directly.

Backing up while swinging is pretty good in the right circumstance, if your opponent thinks the melee is going to be the traditional figure eight engagement backing up will allow you to get free back shots and possibly extra hits. Just don’t make a habit of it because you will be very predictable.

• Always plan ahead and have an exit strategy for different scenarios.

• Stay alert of your surroundings and keep track of your vitals.

• There’s strength in numbers, plus it’s more fun to travel in a group.

• Use the terrain of the world to your advantage. Prefer the high ground and use obstacles for cover.

• Think twice before chasing lone stragglers, they might be leading you into an ambush, where their teammates lie in wait.

• Never have downtime. Constantly do damage, transfer your vitals up and support your friends with heals/buffs depending on the situation.

No matter how strong your character is and how skilled you are you won’t stand a chance against too big of a enemy group. Darkfall Online is a MMORPG and not about being a one man army. Find a group of people to play with and practise PvP together. A well oiled group of fighters that play well with each other will have the best chance at surviving in Darkfall Online.
