In most cases, you want to simply kill the enemy after a successful counter. Immediately following a successful counter, you have a variety of options, such as the following: kill the enemy (Square or X), use a tool on the enemy (Triangle or Y), disarm and stun the enemy (X or A) or throw the enemy (Circle or B). If you press Circle (PlayStation) or B (Xbox), Edward performs a counter. If you see a red mark above an enemy's head, it means that he or she is about to attack Edward. When you're in the midst of combat with Edward's swords, in most cases you'll fight more than one opponent. This makes swordplay a very good option for combating enemies at close range. It takes Edward quite some time to reload after expending his initial ammo stock. This isn't Call of Duty, where you can reload in a virtual instant. You can use guns to take down your enemies, but they alert any other enemies in the general vicinity, and you have to worry about ammo restrictions and reloading. There are many instances in which you must engage in combat as Edward, whether you're boarding a ship, or on land fighting off guards or natives.
