Combat Mechanics & Tips
- Aiming Under Stress:
- Simon's hands shake visibly when his heart rate is elevated. Stand still for 1.5 seconds to narrow the reticle bloom before firing revolver shots.
- Targeting CRT Cathode Weak Spots:
- Manifestations have glowing electron-tube weak points along their spines. Hitting these spots deals 2.5x critical damage and causes instantaneous electrical discharge.
- The Melee Shove:
- Pressing the melee button immediately after taking damage performs a quick shoulder shove, breaking grab animations without consuming ammo.
