Combat

Combat in God of War Laufey is built around speed, control, and relentlessness. Santa Monica Studio describes it as intimate and brutal, and the team set out to combine the movement and fluidity of the series' Greek era with the Norse era's approach to world-building and close ties to characters.

Movement and Tempo

Faye moves easily between the ground and the air without halting the action, giving her combat a hyper-responsive feel. She can double jump, move rapidly through the air, and juggle enemies into lengthy combo strings, building and maintaining momentum from one attack to the next. The result is a faster, more acrobatic style than the recent Norse-era entries, with a heavy emphasis on aerial offense.

Tools

Her signature the Golden Hand power tears the soul from a foe and feeds directly into her combos. She wields a legendary sword, and her companion Phranque joins the fight, smashing into enemies and helping extend combo chains.
