Cult of the Lambis not only about creating a strong cult, but also about crusades against heretics. Depending on the biome, or more precisely the door you enter,the enemies you face will be different. And over time, you will encounter enemies with annoying shields. To defeat them, you need to unlock the heavy attacks.

A heavy attack is an alternative weapon attack. It varies depending on the type of weapon and deals huge damage. However, this ability is not available to lambs from the very beginning, and players must unlock it as they progress.

How To Use Heavy Attacks

There is a cost for using heavy attacks. Every time you want to use the full power of the weapon in your hands,it will consume Fervor.Of course, heavy attacks don’t require as much Fervor as curses do. However, if your Fervor bar is empty, you will not be able to use heavy attacks. And you don’t want your Fervor to run out when you enter a room full of enemies with shields.

To perform a heavy attack, you need to use a special button, which differs depending on your device:

If you are not comfortable using these buttons, you can try changing the key binding.Cult of the Lamboffers players several control options, including a custom one in which you can assign each button to your liking.

Why Aren’t Heavy Attacks Working?

Sooner or later, the lmab will encounter a large heretic enemy. He will shoot arrows at you, and protect himself with a shield that cannot be broken by a normal attack. If you try to destroy his shield with a heavy attack, it will also have no effect.

This is not a bug, but a special enemy that the game does not warn about. To get rid of this annoying heretic, hit his own projectiles back at him to break his shield.
