Hey, I recently started playing Brütal Legend for the first time, having a lot of fun. However, I’m having a little trouble with the base combat.

I’m currently in a quest where I’m supposed to ambush some enemies with a bunch of headbangers, razor girls and a thunder hog(?). I’ve tried it a few times, but I keep failing and I’m not sure how to best approach the combat. I can do the face melt solo or fight with my axe or guitar. I can double team with one of the characters who is with me to deal even more damage, I can start a moshpit or send the headbangers to a specific target. I’ve tried different approaches, but my units keep dying.

I find it hard to judge what’s working better and what isn’t. Doesn’t help that I find it hard to distinguish between friend and foe and keep a good overview of the battlefield itself.

Any tips on how to best the combat?
