Updated March 23, 2023 By Ben Jessey:Witcher 3 is a game that continually maintains its relevance.
The recent re-release of the game has certainly helped with that.
And it likely has also encouraged new players to give the game a try.
This guide can help them and the more experienced folks avoid the common pitfall associated with Witcher signs.
Ignoring Quick Sign Casting
A recent addition to The Witcher 3 isquick sign casting.
This feature removes the need to switch your equipped sign.
Instead, you could unleash any one of them you want byhitting the indicated button.
This feature isn’t automatically enabled.
You need tohead into options and then gameplay to switch quick sign casting on.
It makes the act of using Witcher signs much smoother, so don’t ignore it.
So, check that to find and equipthe right set of armor for how you like to play.
Thismakes the cast-roll away-cast tactic unviableunless you’ve constructed a solid sign build with heavy regeneration buffs.
Even then, you want to put asmuch stamina towards constant sign usage as you canin that case.
Granted, cutting out rolls altogether isn’t very realistic as they carry Geralt further than his dodge.
Still, they should beused sparingly, mainly reserved for large enemieswith wide attack spans.
Replacing rolls with a succession of side steps or backward leaps would prove more beneficial.
Igni is one sign you want to differentiate between its forms.
The base cast expells a cone-shaped burst of fire that can hit several enemies.
The alternative form shoots a continuous stream of fire, which Geralt can aim and walk slowly while casting.
However, if the Witcher isn’t careful,he can get caught in the flames just as easily.
Next time save yourself the infuriated embarrassment andbe sure you’ve surveyed your surroundingsbefore lighting up your enemies.
Besides, there areeasier ways to create an instant kill opening, such as Aard’s knockdown perk.
Confounding a stronger enemy, then turning your sights onto advancing assailantsis a more beneficial tactic when using Axii.
Geralt likelywon’t get to execute the sign before taking a hitfrom other assailants.
Not Buffing or Utilizing Quen
Some players may overestimate their abilities or underestimate the threat.
Either way,everyone has been guilty of not utilizing Quen enoughat one point or another.
Consistentlyrenewing your Quen shield guarantees constant coveragefrom mistimed dodges or unexpected blows.
It’s also advisable toupgrade Quen to ‘Explosive Shield.
‘That way, it willknock back enemies when the shield is broken, giving Geralt time to recover.
You’rebetter off going with a crowd-control method like Aard or Igniif the enemies are especially susceptible to fire.
