* Go in with a plan.* Be clever when your plan turns to shit.
* Signs are good for that. A cleverly chosen sign at the right moment can completely shift the course of a battle.
* Always have an exit strategy.
* Master bending your attacks. Really important as you can bypass an enemy's guard and dodge enemies with an attack of your own.
* Learn the attack patterns of enemies, how fast their attacks are, and at what distance they can hit you. Exploit each of those to not get hit.
* Prefer countering/parrying over dodging.
* See dodging first and foremost as a way to cover ground quickly, it's not a reliable defensive tool.
* Don't abuse Quen, it will abuse you back.
* Never panic and loose your cool. You'll fuck up your attacks, mismanage stamina, and generally get f***ed.
* Know when it's safe to hit an execution, know that the stamina you get from performing an execution can save your life.
* Use bombs in any encounter with 3+ enemies.
* Don't use swallow during combat, save it for post-combat recovery. Toxicity is dangerous, and should be reserved for direct buffs.
* Play offensive at high stamina, defensive at low stamina. Your attacks do significantly less damage at low stamina.
* Have several different swords in your arsenal for different kinds of enemies/encounters. I have like 5 different swords that I all use depending on the enemy's weaknesses, how many enemies I'm fighting, how the enemy moves, etc.
* Perhaps most important: forget everything you know from vanilla, nothing you did there will work here. Will probably just get you killed.

Skirpt Merger

This Part will show you hopefully simple how Script-Merger works and what you can do with it.

Step 1Based
Spoiler:  
Show

0- At first you need to set the path of your Witcher 3 folder
1- There you can see wich mods got script conflicts to each other and can be merged when you game dose not start because of the Script-Errors.
2- It shows you all merged scripts.
3- There are Bundle Text issues and these can be set up with priorities no merge needed.
4- Here you can see mods, for example texture mods, which are in conflict to each other.
    With these conflicts you would get issues ingame. 

    For these you need to set priority to each red conflict.



Step 2 Set Priority
Spoiler:  
Show

Thats rly simple you just do a right klick on the mod you want to set a priotity.


Then you choose the priority, lower number = higher priority (1>10). 


If you set up the priority the red turns into purple and the mods wich are black got now a higher priority than the grey out mods.
I also choosed  mod00E3_2014_Geralt_for_lm instead of modTheMutant.
Normaly it makes no sence to use two Geralt retextures but thats just as example.




Step 3 Scripts
Spoiler:  
Show

Most important to get the game starting is to reduce the Script-Conflict.
You can set priority to give one script a higher priority and overwrite the other script.
This could break some mods ingame or the game wont start.

So mostly you need to merge the Scripts.
If you would try to start the game with this set up.


You would get these errors and your game wont start, thats why you need to merge these Scripts.


So you need to check all Scripts you want or you need to merge and then press "Create X Selected Merges"


And now it will be a bit difficult, pls open the picture in Fullmode!
0-   There are the buttons you need to use.
       At the lefft a arrow that shows you that some conflicts are open.
       A- Stands for the Vanilla Script you could chooce
       but we just need to choos B for mod B ( see 2 for Tweaks) or C for mod C (see 2.1 for W3EE) 

3-    Is you output, your merged file when your done with it.
3.1- Is your Merge-Conflict and you need to choose between B or C (5 or 5.1)
4-    Shows you every conflict, red means you need to merge these conflicts, purple means it merged it automaticly because         of no conflicts and green means two conflics are the same.
       For us is just red important.



In this case we choose Tweaks because we wanna that Tweaks get affected


When you finished that press save and exit the window.
Then it should be look like this and you good to start the game.



Step 4 more Scripts
Spoiler:  
Show

The Step 3 was a rly EASY example now a bit more difficult one.
In this example we merge Immersive Sound and W3EE together. 
Both Scripts are needed to get them fully run but wich one we need to use first?
That depends on the second line under the Conflict Line of the Output (1) . 
In B (modImmersiveSound) you can see there is //ImmersiveSound-- and in C (modW3EE) you see its emty.
So we need to set up that ImmersiveSound scripts are in a row without something of W3EE between this.



So You need to choose for the first merge conflict (2) C and then B.
Then it looks like this. W3EE First and then Immersive sound. But something is Wrong and missing here. 
The most Important thing is that every { also gets a }. Otherwise you will get errors. 



I just can show you in a screenshot what i mean because i dont know how to describe it as  text.
There you can see that i add on } to complete the script whats nessessary to run the script.
Also i added //W3EE - End whats not nessessry but it makes the Script clean.
