They are great for crowd control. For example when you’re running away from an enemy, drop one on the ground and when your far enough, blow it up to stagger or knock them down.
I forgot to mention that this tip is not something you would normally need in Normal Mode.
You don’t have to do it.
This is just a strategy that comes in clutch during Master Mode, because this helps break up the time in between enemy health regeneration.
Enemy health regeneration is a huge fukkin pain in the ass in Master Mode.
Its cause of weapon durability.
Imagine fighting an enemy while your durability degrades then your weapon breaks and now you on ya last one. Guess what? His life regenerated. You did all that shyt for nothing because you didn’t kill him in time.
Thats why the bomb trick is great because you don’t waste materials. I use to shoot em in a face with arrow real quick to break up regeneration but the bomb trick is less wasteful.
Once you master enemy regeneration tactics, you ready for Master Mode Trial of the Sword.
You also need to master stasis and elemental stun-locking.
