Remember to take out the enemy archers before using this thing, because you can’t have your shield and bow out at the same time. This will allow you to kite the enemy, whilst still inflicting casualties on the enemy. You won’t really need it too much, however, when the enemy’s ranged attacking capabilities are neutralized. You should always have your shield facing the enemy archers, and only have it down when facing directly away from the enemy, attacking, couching, and when you have your ranged weapon out.
This one is much less important than having a horse, but crutial none-the-less. In short, a horse keeps you 10 steps ahead of the enemy, and you absolutely need it to survive as a solo. This is, by far, the absolute most important part of fighting bandits solo.Ī horse allows you to get & stay out of tight situations, it allows you to swoop in at oppertune times, it allows you to kite the enemy, it allows you to chase down routers & stragglers, and many other things.
