Hostile Humanoids
Upright, red-to-purple fighters with sword and shield. They read your swings, feint, and punish mistakes.
Humanoid enemies are coloured toward red and purple so they read as dangerous at a glance. Your home world always has one kind about, and like other hostiles they're mostly out at night.
How they fight
- Chase, then circle you briefly, sizing you up.
- Wind up for the better part of a second. That's your window to dodge. Sometimes it's a feint and they break off.
- Strike: a committed step in and a hit.
- Recover for about a second. That's when you punish.
If they see you winding up a heavy swing, they can raise a block that soaks most of it. Hit them hard enough, often enough, and they stagger.
