Read the exchange
Mistfall Hunter rewards deliberate positioning. Stamina, dodge energy, block properties, crowd control, and recovery frames decide whether a hit creates an opening or only starts a trade you cannot finish.
- Do not spend every dodge before the enemy commits.
- Attack after a recovery, not while the target still has a clean answer.
- Keep the camera and the escape lane aligned.
Block and parry
A block is a resource decision: it buys time but can still fail against the wrong attack or an enemy state that ignores it. Perfect Parry is stronger because it interrupts the enemy and creates a counter window, but it should be learned against a readable pattern.
- Use block to survive a known frontal sequence.
- Practice parry on one enemy before relying on it in PvP.
- When the first read is wrong, disengage instead of forcing the second.
Finish cleanly
The safest kill is the one that leaves you ready for a third party. Loot only after the room is quiet, check the next angle, and keep enough stamina to reach the reset point.
- Finish high-threat enemies first.
- Reload, heal, or recover before opening a reward container.
- Treat every kill as a route decision, not the end of the fight.
