In the MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online there are different types of attacks. In addition to light and heavy attacks, there is also the bash attack. We at MeinMMO explain what exactly it is.
What is a bash attack? The bash attack is an attack that interrupts enemies and is correspondingly powerful. For many bosses, it is essential to interrupt certain abilities. The attack consumes stamina when used and can be executed with any weapon.
You activate it by pressing both mouse buttons simultaneously. On the console, you must also block and attack at the same time. By default, these are the left and right triggers.
However, the bash attack cannot be executed if you do not have enough stamina available. You also deal more damage if you actually interrupt an ability.
Where does the confusion arise? In English, it is referred to as a bash or interrupt. However, there is also a shield ability called “Power Bash” that also interrupts enemies, but causes significantly more damage and requires you to be wielding the shield weapon.
Basics of ESO continually raise questions
Why is there this guide? The MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online offers many interesting nuances in the combat system but does not explain them particularly well. Therefore, it is often questioned what exactly a bash attack is.
Similar questions also arise on other topics, such as what direct damage is or how to get companions. These make it much easier for newcomers and returnees.
