Welcome to Episode 7 of my Don't Starve - Reign of Giants Beginner's Guide Series! This episode is all about Combat, and will cover weapons and armor, kiting, and the B to W of how to fight ALL THE THINGS that live on the surface! Because mobs in Reign of Giants also exist in Don't Starve Together, this guide also applies to the multiplayer version of Don't Starve, with a few differences that are covered in the video.

NOTE: Be sure to check the pinned comment for a small addendum I learned about during an ‪@JazzysGames‬ livestream. Thanks Jazzy!! (And apparently I need to do even more personal testing of stuff on the wiki LOL).
