Truly brutal enemies should reflect that.2) Navigating the danger of ranged enemies and those with significant reach advantage is a big thing in DW combat. Make it a thing.3) Make control a thing. Make liberal use of the Forceful tag.4) Leverage the environment. Obstacles should be used regularly to hamper PCs and also as things they can leverage themselves. Volcanic vents should ignore armor, sucking quicksand should require finesse and mental acuity to manage (the harder you struggle, the quicker you sink), etc.5) Plenty of things (spells and even mundane things) should attack the emotions and the mind (perhaps pulling on hard memories where they’ll have to Defy Danger Charisma).6) Ignore Armor + multiple enemies + debilities + take -1 forward.Use all of these in concert to make combat compelling and filled with varying decision-points.</blockquote>
