Veilguard's combat is more action-focused than previous Dragon Age games, with a reduced party size of three. It involves dodging, countering, and using risk-reward charge attacks to break enemy armor layers. The strategy comes from the ability wheel, which allows players to issue orders while the action is paused. Companions can be customized as support units and healers.
