Tactical Info[]
- Rangers can attack adjacent enemies with their sword even after using both actions to move or dash to the extent of their movement range.
- The decision to engage the enemy in melee combat can be a decisive one; exercise caution.
- Keep an eye out to improve our edged weapon effectiveness - the enemy may have access to much better technology.
