4. Don't Forget About Your Bow

With the selection of melee weapons out there, it's easy to get caught up in the world of hand-to-hand combat. There's nothing better than pulling off a perfectly-timed dodge and following it up with a flurried counterattack, after all. The importance of ranged combat in Valhalla cannot be overstated though, with those more interested in button mashing missing out on a pivotal in-game ability.

You see, pulling back on your bowstring will actually highlight an enemy's weak points in orange, and if you're skilled enough to hit them, you'll take a large chunk out of the enemy's stamina.

Since shots like these will often cause the enemy to be stunned, allowing Eivor to finish them off with a stunning strike, this strategy shouldn't be ignored. So if you've been battling with a difficult enemy, you know what to try.
