But what you may not yet know is what each colour of damage value represents, and why it is important to pay attention to them.

Enough of this kind of damage will end the fight with you the victor.

If a certain part (be it head, leg, tail, etc.) takes enough Part damage, the part will break, giving you more resources to craft with after the fight (provided you win), and possibly also affecting the behaviour and movesets of the Behemoth.

Once a part is broken, you can no longer deal Part damage there, only Basic damage or Stagger damage.

Enough Wound damage on the same spot will cause that part to become fully wounded, which means the Behemoth takes extra Part damage when struck there.

And it holds that a decent player with satisfactory stats can solo any Behemoth in the game with any weapon.

But, as well soon see, the different weapon types do have different leanings, without taking into account the various individual weapons and all their element types, unique benefits, and cell slots (for more info on Cells check out our Dauntless cellsperks guide).

Id also throw the Sword into the ring, because it simply has no downsides.

Its the jack-of-all-trades, master-of-none weapon of Dauntless, and if I were to stick to a single weapon type all the way through the game, the Sword would be my pick.

Honestly, you should try to level up at least one weapon of each type, because aside from anything else, it just makes the game more interesting and fun than sticking to one or two weapon types.

Reactivate to dash in a direction (incurs a short cooldown).

My own personal take is that pretty much every other weapon is more interesting than the Sword; but regardless, its a reliable weapon whose combos and animations strike a great balance between damage and mobility something no other weapon can claim to do nearly as well.

Youve got two super-simple combos, one for Light Attacks and one for Heavy Attacks; then two more combos for combining those attacks.

The Specials are likewise very straightforward and easy to understand.

You can also slide-attack with the Sword by jumping, then after the apex of the jump starting a Heavy Attack.

Youll slide forward as you attack, which is great for gaining or closing a bit of distance as you need it.

On the face of it, the Axes attacks and combos are incredibly simple (and they are), simply using either Horizontal or Vertical Attacks in quick succession, alternating between charged and uncharged.
