The Witcher 3: 12 Crucial Tips & Tricks The Game Doesn't Tell You

9. Switch Signs (Spells) During Your Block Stance

Depending on how much you like catching your breath in the midst of an intense duel, the super slo-mo inventory wheel that pops up can be a godsend or a pace-killing burden. Luckily, as CD Projekt are in the business of thinking of everything, you can flick between all five of your Signs with the D-pad, but only whilst holding the block button - otherwise you'll forever be sheathing/un-sheathing your two swords instead. On PC the mouse wheel lets you do this regardless of blocking, but on consoles you'll have to hold down L2/LT.
