You won't find any usable siege equipment during gameplay, but here's what you need to know about combat options. Enemy bases might have siege weapons around as background elements, but the actual fighting mechanics focus on precision weapon techniques. Keep an eye on your main arsenal - katanas for quick strikes, naginatas when you need reach, and the heavy-hitting kanabo for breaking defense.

The bow and teppo setups give you ranged options, while your stealth toolkit lets you control encounters. When approaching fortified positions, focus on using your grappling hook for positioning and look for destructible elements that create openings. Learning the parry timing and posture damage system is crucial, since that's your main way of breaking through tough enemies, rather than trying to commandeer their static defenses. The combat flow really emphasizes personal weapon mastery and tactical movement rather than environmental siege weapons.

During intense fights, watch enemy attack patterns closely and time your parries when their weapon glows - this creates better damage windows than trying to use the scenery. Your positioning matters most near guard posts and camps, where staying mobile with your grappling hook gives you more options than the fixed siege equipment you'll spot in the background.
