Although it's a different genre, just look at the MCU and Marvel, it's exactly what happens in all fights. I'm a bit loathe to bring this comparison because I don't like to mix my SciFi and Superheroes with my Fantasy, and I don't want my D&D characters to play and act like superheroes, but the combat is what I'm looking for. Or just look at Aragorn at Helm's Deep.</blockquote>
