How to Handle Crowds in Absolum

When enemies crowd you in Absolum, prioritize movement: create room to reposition rather than staying put to force extra attacks.

Reposition instead of fighting in place

The draft describes dense enemy groups as a risk and movement as a way to avoid getting pinned. When surrounded, focus first on opening a path so you can regain space. Use the dash to reposition, not only to dodge an incoming attack.

If you have room to choose where to move, avoid getting trapped against a wall. The draft suggests using gaps in a crowd to move through or strike without being pinned.

Avoid overcommitting to attacks

If you keep taking damage, the draft recommends baiting an attack, dashing away, and then responding. It also cautions against committing to an attack when your position is unsafe.

Treat making space as the immediate priority when a crowd closes in. Once you can move freely again, look for an opening to attack.
