00:00Dune Awakening
00:09Combat in Dune Awakening is the fusion of melee, shields, range, abilities, and vehicles.
00:21As you progress, your tactical options expand, allowing you to express yourself through different styles of play.
00:30In the beginning, combat is a short, brutal affair.
00:40Do everything you can to knock your opponents off balance and open them up for a retaliating strike.
00:48Keep an eye on your stamina, or find yourself in trouble.
00:54Early abilities change the paradigm.
00:57Use the voice to force your enemies to come to you.
01:03Shigger wire claw to stagger an enemy.
01:07Knee charge into melee range.
01:09Ranged weapons like the Mauler Pistol allow you to maintain distance, and take down enemies from afar, until a shielded enemy enters the fray.
01:25Holtzman shields change the nature of combat.
01:30Their kinetic barrier can only be pierced by slow-moving objects.
01:35Fast on defense, slow on attack.
01:38Swords, daggers, kinjoids, and rapiers are effective for dealing with shielded enemies.
01:45But without a shield of your own, you will quickly be overwhelmed by enemy fire.
01:53But the shields also have a weakness beyond the slow blade.
01:58Ranged attacks cannot be fired from inside an active shield, creating a window of opportunity for the others to exploit.
02:06Specialized ranged weapons can counteract shields.
02:11The drill shot rifle fires drilling darts that will attach to a shield and slowly pass through.
02:19The disruptor fires statically charged darts at variable speeds to overwhelm the power supply of the shield.
02:28Abilities can turn the tide of any battle.
02:34Swordmasters use their deflection ability to close the distance and bring their crippling strikes to bear on their enemies.
02:43Troopers use their techniques to take to the air and bring death from above.
02:49Bene Gesserit stop enemies in their tracks with the power of the voice.
02:54Or use their bindu dash to quickly close the gap.
02:59Mentats control the battlefield with their sentinel.
03:04Or use the hunter seeker for a silent takedown.
03:09Abilities, ranged weapons, shields, and melee work in concert to allow mastery.
03:19But beyond mastery lies the spice.
03:25Consume it to awaken.
03:28Transcend human limits with new abilities and precious.
03:32Seeing what others cannot, the narrow path to victory.
03:36Combine these techniques freely to experience sandbox combat.
03:42Create unique strategies and bring them to bear against your foes.
03:46Always remember, Arrakis takes the weak.
03:49Arrakis takes the weak.
