The outcome of a battle often depends on the combatants’ tactics and fighting styles. Adopting a defensive combat stance will enable your hero to protect himself from attacks, while he studies his opponent’s tactics and develops an effective counter-strategy. Selecting a defensive stance will give your hero a bonus to their Parry Value (PA). The defensive combat stance is strenuous and the defender will expend a number of endurance points per parry. It is not possible to activate an offensive combat style simultaneously.
