Signs Are Your Friends
Just like in previous entries to the series, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt gives players the ability to use five different, and potent, signs. These are you magic abilities, and they each serve their very own special purpose both inside and outside of battle. The thing is, when battles grow hectic it’s easy to forego using these powerful abilities, and that does nothing but make the job much harder for the player.
In the beginning, signs can be a bit confusing, especially to new players. Since the enemy variety at the onset of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is a bit more restrained, the signs that players should focus on are Igni, Aard, and Quen which are fire, telekenetic push, and shield respectively. This will allow for some variety in attacking, while also protecting Geralt in ways that his swords just can’t do.
Thankfully, gameplay slows to a crawl while selecting signs so players don’t become too overwhelmed by whatever ambush they may find themselves in the center of. So put those Witcher abilities to good use, and show your enemies you inner power.
