Personas | Combat system AC: Liberation HD Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
Your character needs to know how to find her ways in different sorts environments. For that reason, she owns three types of outfits which, apart from looks, differ in the character's abilities. Each of the personas has different methods of avoiding notoriety, abilities to move around, combat capabilities or even the special missions that come with each individual outfit.
Lady Persona
The Lady, i.e. the Lady of the Court, is an dignified persona of the greatest limitations to the role of the assassin. She is weak and has a limited access to weapons and tools. She cannot perform the Chain Kill.
Her main advantage is her ability to remain anonymous - her notoriety rises slower than with the other personas and, while equipped with the Umbrella blowpipe, she can eliminate enemies while remaining completely anonymous.
To decrease notoriety, you need to kill witnesses with any persona, who are guarded by two men. The Lady cannot run, jump nor climb onto objects.
She has, though, two interesting abilities - bribery, which allows you to enter the areas protected by several guards, for a small sum.
There also is charming. You can charm anybody with the heart-icon above the head. The charmed person fights to defend the damsel and follows he around, which is useful when you want to eliminate the suitor outside of public view. The charmed guardian also lets you cross passages guarded by the other men.
Pocket Pistol - This is the only pistol that the Lady can use. It is a good idea to consider buying it early in the game.
Assassin Persona
The assassin is Aveline's main persona. The assassin can use the full arsenal of weapons and use the Chain Kill ability. She can move around quickly and with agility between trees and buildings.
Reduction of notoriety is achieved through bribing judges. Her downside, however is the speed with which she gains notoriety, and the permanent 1 of its level, which means that standing near guards for an extended period of time always end in their attacking you.
Slave Persona
Slave Persona - the slave is something the lady and the assassin. Her fighting skills are a bit worse and she cannot use Chain Kill. Her access to weaponry is less restricted than in the case of the lady, and she can just as easily blend with the crowd or remain invisible while carrying crates.
To decrease notoriety, you need to rip posters off the walls, with any persona.
Her main advantage is the ability to run and climb just like the assassin.
Pocket Pistol - it is the only pistol that can be used by the slave. It is a good idea to consider buying it early in the game.
Changing between personas
You can switch between personas in the dressing chamber. If you buy additional outfits at the store, you can customize the looks at the store or in your HQ, by using the wardrobe.
