What kind of combat moves here and what skills grant it?
Specifically I'm looking for area attack type.
Also. Is there a info about danger level of MOB?
I thought spiders are easy case its starting zone but no.

Backalley Pugilism is the first of the good hand combat skills to get after self defense. I would not worry about using swords yet if you were thinking about it. They are only useful if you have the fencing skill, which is already pretty high in cloack and dagger requirements.

For a start aim for this one,you can stomp which is really usefull to agro animals. And uppercut which is better than punch

Animal stats
Rabbit 2,5 Blood easiest to kill
Crickets 5 Blood
Turkey 10 Blood
Beaver 10 Blood (i think..)
Deer 15 Blood

Stay away from spiders and be carreful with deers,they charge for 10 dmg. Use Guard to minimize the damage you receive.

And what about Beavers ?

With how much Yellow Bile & Blood you can start killing crickets (& beavers ?) assuming you have BackAlley ?

Thanks a lot.

any tactics with snakes?
one bite and its death. cure is a way too costly

If you're new to the game,10 Blood and YB for crickets and 15 for beavers should be enough. Just try it out when you have spent your inspiration points,you can check for yourself if you need more biles or not.

For beavers,stay close to them when hunting. They will start spinning around and do more damage if you stay far from them.

For snakes you can stomp them while they are attacking (you need to time it right) or run to shallow waters,they can't come in the water and you can then stomp them:P

What is the range of Stomp ?

Thanks for the beavers tips

Can't really tell you,it's not that big. But animals in range will aggro even if you don't hit them.

Ok.
Nevermind I just saw that I can make some tanning fluid without beaver brains
