On-foot battle in AC4 Black Flag

On-foot battle in Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag.

Edward squares off against a group of enemies who are armed with both swords and muskets.

Combat is based heavily on timing and countering. Blocking and hitting counter at the right time, coupled with either a disarm or a counterattack, will result in an instant kill or an instant disarm, leaving the enemy open for a deadly attack.
