- Do not open chests or doors the regular way, just break them with the Smash perk. Your interaction speed is too slow. (However, breaking them will not grant EXP.)
- Your ranged options are limited, try to force enemies into close quarters where you excel. Cornering and ambushing are valuable strategies.
- Try not to fight faster classes while using Two-Handed weapons, their swing speed is very slow, allowing swift opponents to bait your attack and punish you during the recovery time. Have either a Hatchet or a Horseman's Axe as a secondary to deal with them. If you don't have such a secondary, press X to take out your fists.
- Francisca Axes deal a lot of damage combined with the Axe Specialization Perk. Don't underestimate the Francisca Axes, they deliver a powerful slow effect, enabling you to close the gap or outright 2-3 shot low health classes like the Wizard.
- Use your ability to smash through doors to make aggressive plays and surprise enemy players.
- Utilize Move Speed buffs such as Rage, Wizard's Haste, or Bard's Accelerando to mitigate your slow movement speed.
