A strong defense can turn the tide of battle in The First Berserker: Khazan. Managing stamina is critical, as relentless attacks aren’t always viable. Effective defense exhausts enemies, allowing you to strike back decisively. For players seeking to master Counterattack and Reflection in The First Berserker: Khazan, read on for detailed guidance.
Mastering Counterattack in The First Berserker: Khazan
Counterattack is among the first defensive skills unlocked in the game. While precise timing allows you to guard or dodge most attacks, Brink Guard is ineffective against certain powerful enemy moves.
Burst Attacks are devastating enemy moves that drain both stamina and health. A flashing symbol and distinct sound signal their approach, alerting you to ready your Counterattack to counter these formidable strikes.
Execute Counterattack with L1+Circle/LB+B, but timing is crucial. The move must align with the enemy’s attack impact, requiring practice to perfect the animation’s synchronization with incoming strikes.
A well-timed Counterattack blocks all damage, fully restores stamina, and staggers the enemy, creating an opportunity for significant damage. Be prepared to use it against foes like The Viper with Burst Attacks for smoother battles.
Mastering Reflection in The First Berserker: Khazan
While Brink Guard offers reliable protection for skilled players, Reflection provides a unique advantage by combining defense with offensive power, making it a key skill for dealing damage safely.
Reflection is essential against tougher bosses later in the game, offering a critical window for counterattacks. Activate it with L1+Triangle/LB+Y, triggering a brief animation where Khazan swings his weapon at the enemy.
For a perfect Reflection, time the swing to connect with an enemy’s attack animation. This inflicts significant stamina damage and stuns the foe. Upgrades enhance Reflection with health damage and a tighter animation window for precision. Practice is key to mastering its timing.
A mistimed Reflection risks health and stamina loss, leaving you vulnerable. Note that Reflection is ineffective against Burst Attacks or grabs, so choose your moments carefully during combat and practice.
