Assassin's Creed Odyssey: 18 Tips & Tricks The Game Doesn't Tell You

15. Using Abilities In Combat Regenerates Health

Besides picking the Second Wind ability to give yourself a 25% health burst upon "death", a better way to regenerate HP in combat is to go on the offensive.

See, although it's not part of the tutorial, every 'shoulder button + face button' ability gives you a half-centimetre of health back, meaning everything from the Spartan Kick to heavier charge attacks and even the Rush Assassination will get you back up to full health in no time.

Like a good Spartan down on their luck, the best way to stave off death is to go out swinging. You might just turn it all around and emerge in one piece after all.
