Horizon Zero Dawn: Combat Tips and Tricks for Beginners

Keep Your Distance and Dodge

Horizon Zero Dawn Combat Tips and Tricks

Just as you can in most ARPGs, Aloy has the ability to dodge and roll in Horizon Zero Dawn’s combat. By pressing Circle, Aloy will dive out of the way of an incoming attack into safety. Simply move the left stick in the direction you want to go and watch her dive through the air.

A lot of the machines in Horizon Zero Dawn like to get up close and personal with Aloy in combat, but that’s going to spell serious trouble for you. Always keep your distance and whenever you see a machine trying to get close, dodge and sprint away. With some space between you, you can now continue your attack without having to worry about getting cornered.
