What I liking with Assassin Creed Oddissey is mercenary. When you fight and get clue of mercenary you can view in menu. If you see mercenary of girl you like you can track them and fight. You can use overpower attack which is like combo changing on weapon type. Spartran kick is nice ability and can send character far. Defeat enemy with kick or fist (no weapon) and they do not die but lie to ground in pain. You can recruit them into ship as leutenant.
Not many enemy have grab ability. Usually only special enemy of story boss like Deimos or mythic beast.
