Equipment direction

Feline School gear as it becomes available. Review its current bonuses and compare protection with your existing armor.

Earlier-version skills to check in the current tree: Muscle Memory, Precise Blows, and Whirl. Fixed point allocations are not published until their remaster names, effects, and prerequisites are confirmed.

Preparation checklist

  • Ready the appropriate sword for the target.
  • Apply a suitable monster oil.
  • Keep a healing option and Quen available for mistakes.

For a reusable pre-contract routine, see Before You Hunt: A Preparation Checklist.

Combat steps

  1. Watch the enemy commit to an attack.
  2. Dodge, strike briefly, and reposition.
  3. Use Quen as a supporting defensive tool.
  4. If Whirl is available, use it when you have room and resources to sustain it; avoid committing blindly in a dangerous crowd.

Progression advice

Prioritize the sword abilities you actually use in fights. Confirm each skill’s name, effect and prerequisites in your installed version before committing points, and add defensive support as you go.

Strengths and limitations

Strengths

  • · Mobile and responsive in one-on-one fights.
  • · Simple core loop that’s easy to practice.
  • · Works well with steady monster-oil preparation.

Limitations

Aggressive swordplay still requires defense. Stop attacking when the opening closes.

Version note

Written as a researched foundation. Skill names, effects, prerequisites and allocations have not yet been verified for a claimed remaster; no personal test date is recorded.
