Witcher fans rejoice as the much-anticipated mobile title, The Witcher: Monster Slayer is here.
The title combines the lore and creatures from The Witcher series with the real-world exploration-based play of Pokemon GO.
As players encounter monsters throughout the game, they will be forced to do battle in order to fill their bestiary and fulfil their purpose as a Witcher.
There is a range of different types of attacks in the game, including a Fast Attack, a Strong Attack and a Critical hit, as well as the ability to use items, potions and signs. Here’s how you use each type of melee attack in the game.
How to Perform a Fast Attack in The Witcher: Monster Slayer
In order to pull the fast attack off, all you have to do is swipe your finger over the monster in a fast sweeping pattern, ensuring you swipe a different direction each time.
How to Perform a Strong Attack in The Witcher: Monster Slayer
A strong attack is, as you’d imagine, more powerful than a fast attack but again, as you’d expect, it’s also a lot slower.
Using a strong attack is very similar to using a fast attack and involves swiping your finger over the monster, however, this time in slower strokes across the screen.
How to Pull Off a Critical Hit and Perfect Critical Hit
After landing a few successful and unbroken hits in a row on a monster, you will gain the opportunity to pull off a critical hit.
When the critical hit has been unlocked, one circle will make its way across the screen towards a second circle. To ensure the critical hit is successful, you will need to tap the circles as they overlap. Following that, you’ll unleash a devastating blow on your enemy.
If you manage to tap as the circles are perfectly aligned, you will complete a perfect critical hit.
