(And youвЂ™ll usually be full on ichor since youвЂ™re backstabbing everything - see above.) Use your giftsД®ach blood code (which is like a class - more on blood codes below) has associated gifts, which are magic-like abilities that do things like buff you and your teammate, increase your damage, or attack enemies directly. ItвЂ™s great for clearing out enemies waiting for you on the other side of a bridge, or clearing enemies waiting to drop off of ceilings. Bandai Namco Studios, Shift/Bandai Namco EntertainmentДЄ bayonetвЂ™s strong attack is a ranged ichor projectile. One weapon should be your preferred damage-dealing device, but keep a bayonet in the other slot. You have two weapon slots in Code Vein, and you can switch between them at any time with the press of a button. Turn them off by going to Settings > Game Settings, and turning off Cinematic Effect for Special Drains. But it quickly becomes an interruption in combatвЂ™s flow. The first time you watch the full animation of a drain attack, itвЂ™s admittedly pretty cool. So, backstab everything, but вЂ¦ Turn off the drain attack animations Draining everything will also keep your ichor full. They make you invulnerable to attacks while theyвЂ™re happening, and they will kill most low-level enemies with one hit. We canвЂ™t stress enough how useful drains - especially back attacks - are. These deal devastating damage and are easy to get just by running (or rolling) around your enemies.

Back attacks are attacks from behind your enemy with the weak attack button.

Charged drain attacks are, well, charged up as you hold down a button.

The amount of ichor you get from draining an enemy depends on your weapon and blood veil (your jacket). Bandai Namco Studios, Shift/Bandai Namco EntertainmentДrain attacks come in two flavors: charged drain and back attacks. Back attacks deal a huge amount of damage. Once you master it, parrying will trigger a drain attack, which drains ichor (magic points) from enemies.

The windup to parrying takes a little longer than you might expect, so practice it early on low-level enemies. Parrying works like youвЂ™d probably expect: You hit a button to deflect an income ing blow. More than anything else, learning to parry and drain attack will keep you alive and murdering lost in Code Vein. Learn to parry, and drain attack everything

ItвЂ™s вЂ¦ a lot.Д«elow, weвЂ™ll walk you through everything we learned - and everything we wish weвЂ™d known - in our first several hours with the game. ThereвЂ™s a complex (and malleable) class system in blood codes, magic-like gifts, and jackets that turn into dogs. ThereвЂ™s a lot to keep track of in Code Vein beyond just slashing your way through enemies.
