2. On-Foot & Open Combat Doctrine

Combat in Resynced has been completely reworked using motion systems inspired by modern action titles.

The Guard Break & Execution Hierarchy

Standard Guards & Agiles: Perfect Parry (timed block) instantly kills or opens a 4-enemy Chain Takedown.
Brutes & Captains: Counter-parries do not work directly. Fire one Pistol Quick Shot into their chest to shatter their poise gauge, then execute.
The "Scorpion Sweep" Combo: Quick-throw your Rope Dart to yank an elite enemy toward you, then immediately input Trip / Sweep for an unblockable knockdown and ground kill.
Pistol-Swords: Use weapons like Le Bourgeoys Blades (Weapons Guide) to unleash free 2-shot shotgun bursts during heavy attacks without spending ammo.

3. Naval Warfare & Jackdaw Combat Matrix

The Jackdaw is your primary weapon. Understanding range zones and secondary ammo types determines victory against military fleets.

Engagement Range	Primary Weapon	Secondary Fire Mode	Optimal Target & Tactic
Extreme Range (350m–500m)	Mortar Shells	Deadman's Cohort (Carcass Bombs)	Soften Fort towers & Man-o-War convoys before closing in
Long Range (150m–300m)	Bow Chaser (Chain Shot)	Double Shot (16-ball volley)	Chase fleeing vessels; Double Shot destroys schooners in 1 hit
Medium Range (50m–150m)	Broadside (Round Shot)	Heated Shot (Incendiary burst)	High DPS sustained naval volleys; time Lucy's Perfect Brace on incoming fire
Point-Blank / Collision (0m–30m)	Heavy Shot (Shotgun blast)	Ram Dash Charge	Ram enemy hulls at full speed, unleash blind Heavy Shot, jump on swivel cannon
