Finishers

Finishers can be performed by weakening a foe's guard or health. When the button for a Focused Attack flashes on a target, approach them from a different angle to see another Finisher.

Front - Pauses a moment before he stabs his sword through a foe's face.
Rear - Slashes enemy's neck.
Downed Enemies - Looms above opponent before slicing their head.
Mid-Range - Quickly sheathes sword to throw a dagger into an opponent's face.
Mid-Range - Aims a dagger into an opponent's foot. Odysseus then hops forward to fling another dagger through his stunned enemy's head.

Fighting Style

Odysseus shares the same attack traits as Paris: he is a speedy attacker with somewhat hampered defenses. His attacks may be quick, but they also tend to be stationary. He doesn't have many attacks to distance between himself from his foes and his shield stunning attacks have shallow range. His lack of maneuverability is what distances him from his agile counterpart. However, he is one of the two characters in the game who has long ranged attacks to deal with multiple foes at once. When all else fails, rely on his daggers for damaging opponents since Odysseus can use them without too much pause. They will not break through an enemy's defenses, but they are powerful when carefully timed after a wounding strike or Parry.
