Combat & Skills

4 Valheim pages in Combat & Skills.

• CombatHow fighting works in Valheim: stamina-based blocking, parrying and dodging, the stagger bar, weapon skills, the adrenaline and trinket system added by Call to Arms, and the slope-fighting fixes. Weapon stats live on Weapons and Shields.
• Damage TypesValheim's damage types: blunt, slash and pierce; fire, frost, poison, spirit and lightning; chop, pickaxe and pure. How creature weaknesses and resistances multiply them, how burning and poison tick, and how armor, resistances and blocking cut what a Viking takes.
• Parrying and BlockingBlocking in Valheim raises a shield or weapon so its block armor absorbs a hit; a parry, or Perfect Block, is a block timed within a quarter second of impact that multiplies block armor, costs no stamina and staggers the attacker. Formulas, the stagger limit, shields and tips.
• SkillsValheim's skills rise from 0 to 100 through use, with no points to spend. Twenty-four of them cover weapons, movement, gathering, magic, cooking, farming and crafting; each level adds power or trims stamina, and death drains five per cent of every one.
