They don't follow the movie method of always attacking one at a time, so Geralt can get overwhelmed with attacks even on the lower difficulty levels. This mode is where players will find themselves using Decoctions, Blade Oils, and the Beastiary more than they ever have before. Only eat food when you have Quen casted, or you’ll risk having your health regen interrupted by an enemy attack. The fastest way to kill enemies is light attacking with a high crit chance, which you can get from investing in light attacks with your ability points and with the Cat School Techniques perk that makes it so each piece of light armor increases critical hit damage by 25% and fast attack damage by 5%, which with all 4 Pieces of light armor will allow for 100% more critical hit damage and 20% more fast attack damage.

Schematics for both can be found in the opening area, White Orchard (in the Amavet Fortress Ruins and the White Orchard Cemetery, specifically). This will allow the player to absorb damage and gain health. And you’ll soon find yourself frustrated for getting stuck in certain areas.

You need to remember to be a sponge and absorb all the XP available in that region.
